I am Pavan Kumar Nimmala, a recent graduate with a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Sir C R Reddy College of Engineering, where I graduated in 2024. During my studies, I completed a full-stack development training program and gained hands-on experience through internships and projects, including testing a live fintech platform and building a full-stack e-commerce application. My strongest skills include manual and automated testing, Java, SQL, Selenium WebDriver, and Agile workflows. I am eager to take on my first full-time role as a Software Engineer, where I can contribute to building reliable and user-focused products.
Experience
Technical Program Analyst Intern
Card91
Nov 2025 – Feb 2026
Performed functional, regression, and exploratory testing across 7 interconnected backend services in a live fintech platform — identifying 10–15 defects and documenting failure patterns to support faster developer resolution. Tracked 45–60+ defect tickets through the complete lifecycle in JIRA across a 7-member Agile team, covering 4 transaction types across 8+ card issuers. Tested 15–20 API endpoints using Postman, validating request/response behavior and flagging inconsistencies for the development team.
Full Stack Development Training Program
KodNest
Jun 2024 – Mar 2025 · Hulimāvu, Karnataka
Completed a six-month Full Stack Development training program covering Java, SQL, and web application fundamentals. Built and manually tested Sales Savvy, a full-stack e-commerce application (9 entity classes, 10 REST controllers, 23 endpoints) within a 2-month timeline — catching a critical payment API key mismatch and a 401 authorization failure via Postman and manual pre-production testing before deployment.

Projects
Sales Savvy – Full Stack E-Commerce Application
Java
SQL (MySQL)
Postman
Designed a normalized MySQL schema across 9 entity classes and validated 10 REST API controllers exposing 23 endpoints — manually testing 15 functional scenarios in Postman and identifying 2 edge-case (4xx/5xx) failures before delivery.
Automation Testing Project – KodNest Application
Selenium WebDriver
TestNG
Java
Automated 15+ test cases across 3 modules (Login, Registration, Dashboard) using Selenium WebDriver and TestNG, with XPath locators, assertions, and parameterized data-driven scripts. Caught 10+ defects during automated test execution by building reusable scripts around core user flows instead of one-off checks.
Linear Data Structures Visualizer
Java
Swing
Developed an interactive desktop application visualizing 5 data structures across 24 real-time GUI operations, including insert, delete, peek, traversal, and edge-case handling.
