Ganvir

Senior API Testing Engineer with 6+ years making releases boringly reliable.

I build API automation that runs itself — Postman collections versioned in Git, executed by Newman in Jenkins, reported through Allure — and back it with JMeter load tests and SQL-level data validation. Today I'm automating McDonald's order management, menu and pricing checks with Python. QSR retail, enterprise data, fintech, banking, gaming and geospatial products have all shipped through my test suites.

My QA journey

Four organizations, one direction: from validating banking transactions by hand to owning a fully automated, CI/CD-driven API quality pipeline.

Current role

Pune, Maharashtra · Hybrid · Full-time

Client: McDonald's

  • Automated testing of McDonald's Order Management System with Python, validating order flows end to end.
  • Built a Python scanner that sweeps the menus of all stores and flags pricing issues — such as items listed at zero price — before they reach customers.
  • Developed Python scripts that automate regular menu changes, replacing repetitive manual updates.
  • Built a Postman + Newman + Jenkins + Allure automation framework covering 150+ APIs (~1,000 test cases), widening end-to-end coverage across the microservices landscape.
  • Ran JMeter performance and stress tests across multiple APIs, validating throughput, latency and reliability under peak load to support go/no-go decisions.
  • Automated weekly system-information checks with Python, cutting manual effort by ≈30% per cycle.
  • Primary point of contact for API defect triage with development and product-owner teams; authored endpoint test plans, cases and execution reports.
  • Integrated Allure reporting into CI/CD so stakeholders see test trends and defect leakage in real time.

Featured work

Two systems I built that run without anyone pressing "Send".

Continuous API automation framework

ELYX Digital

Postman collections become a CI/CD testing engine: every change is versioned, run automatically and reported, covering 150+ APIs and ~1,000 test cases.

  1. PostmanModular collections with pre-request setup and schema assertions
  2. GitEvery test change reviewed and versioned
  3. JenkinsPipeline triggers on every change
  4. NewmanRuns the collection headless from the CLI
  5. Allure reportPass/fail trends, response times and payloads for every run
150+ APIs automated~1,000 test casesReal-time defect visibilityShorter regression cycles

Menu pricing scanner

McDonald's · via ELYX Digital

A Python script that checks the menu of every store and catches pricing mistakes, like an item listed at zero price, before a customer ever sees them.

  1. All storesLoops through every store location
  2. Fetch menusPulls each store's live menu through the APIs
  3. Validate pricesChecks every item for zero or invalid prices
  4. Flag issuesReports the store, item and problem found
  5. Fixed before customersPricing errors corrected before they cost money
Every store scannedZero-price items caughtAlso automates regular menu changes

Impact, asserted

Numbers from real projects, written the way I'd check them in a test.

expect(apis.automated).toBeGreaterThan(150) ✓150+ APIs

~1,000 automated test cases running in one Postman → Jenkins → Allure pipeline.
