Pratik K Patel

In a world of Automation, I possess 5+ years of experience as a QA(Quality Assurance), Automation(Selenium) engineer. I have automated 15+apps, 50+ web projects.

Dev-Ops is the other expertise area of mine, I am expert in Docker, Vagrant, Mesos, Marathon, Ansible, Chef and Puppet and completed over 10 projects.

These successes are because of focus and detailed process. I am a very process and work oriented person. I have worked with many clients across the globe as an automation engineer and consultation. 

Java and Python are my best friend. I have excellent ability to work with encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and exception handling.

I had completed 15+ projects on DevOps(Mostly Docker, Jenkins and Mesos) and I tend to use Docker in my automation frameworks.

I love to automate the testing of a software product, explore new tech startups, meet talented people, exploring the world, investing and my family.

I have tested web applications, mobile applications and much more. I have knowledge in multiple verticals like Finance, Banking, E-Commerce, Marketing, Media and Entertainment. 

Jenkins is the build tool I use. 

I am very good at Java, Git, Docker, JavaScript, Gradle, TestNG, Linux and testing tools like Appium, Espresso(Android Studio), XCUITest(iOS) and testing frameworks like SeLion(PayPal), RedwoodHQ, Galen(UI) and Roboto. 

I always stick to open-source as much as possible and I even contribute to open-source(github.com/prat3ik).

I use Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Gradle and Eclipse in most of my projects.

Sample application automated on my Github page is "SeleniumTests_with_Website"
