My Projects
As a part of my academic capstone project at Deakin University, I developed a robust web scraper to scrape complete product data from a popular Australian supermarket store using API-oriented approach combined with proxy-rotation, user-agent rotation, CAPTCHA handling, and human behavior simulation. The project was part of an academic research and used ethical web scraping practices.
Tech Stack: Python, Selenium, MongoDB, and SmartProxy.

I had the pleasure of working with Shishir on a complex multi-tenant, Cloud-based SaaS software, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. His thoroughness and eye for details, and his ability to think outside the box, allowed the team to deliver better quality, faster. His efforts in test automation and performance testing gave us valuable insights and allowed us to strategize accordingly. He is one of the best QAs I have worked with.
