Hasan Ali Tariq

Monash University — Melbourne

• Lead test automation activities and quality initiatives across assigned projects; supervise and mentor automation engineers.
• Lead the testing of AI agent-based applications, defining test and evaluation strategy for non-deterministic, LLM-driven features and agent behaviour.
• Judge and evaluate AI agent response quality with DeepEval, applying LLM-as-a-judge metrics (answer relevancy, faithfulness, hallucination) as automated quality gates in regression runs.
• Generate test cases from requirements and user stories using Claude, and use LLMs for code generation across the automation codebase — accelerating both test design and framework development.
• Developed UI and API automation frameworks from scratch in Playwright + TypeScript; uplifted legacy Java (Katalon) frameworks to reduce execution time.
• Automated contract testing of backend REST APIs and automated test data generation through backend APIs.
• Achievements: cut best-case UI regression execution from ~5 hours to ~1 hour; reduced manual test data setup from 2 hours to 1.5 minutes via backend APIs; introduced AI-assisted test case generation and DeepEval response evaluation into the team's QA workflow.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) — Melbourne

• Implemented UI automation from scratch with Playwright JS + Cucumber for a Salesforce-based UI; built API automation with C#/.NET, RestSharp, SpecFlow and NUnit.
• Fixed 20 pre-existing failing automated tests and delivered 13 end-to-end UI scenarios for a newly developed feature.
• Set up nightly CI test execution in Azure DevOps; improved execution time by replacing redundant UI steps with API calls.

Department of Health — Melbourne

• Migrated a legacy automation framework to .NET Core (Selenium C#) and repaired the full suite of existing automated tests.
• Cut best-case UI regression execution from ~5 hours to ~1 hour; scheduled nightly runs on BrowserStack via Azure DevOps.
• Built a test data generation script that reduced manual setup from 2 hours to 1.5 minutes; added database query interfaces enabling data-driven tests.

ANZ Bank — Melbourne

• Functional, regression, security and performance testing for ANZ payment integrations; release sign-off against payment and platform SLAs.
• Implemented performance tests that identified bottlenecks in bulk account-number ingestion.
• Refactored request-body parsing in the legacy framework to the Single Responsibility Principle, cutting ongoing maintenance effort.

Sensei Project Solutions — Melbourne

• Established QA processes and the organisation's first nightly UI automation in Azure DevOps (Selenium, EasyRepro, RestSharp for a Dynamics 365 product) with Dockerised execution.
• Built a C#/.NET managed service for on-demand demo and test data generation; PBI and bug templates adopted as the company-wide standard.

Monash University — Melbourne

• Led QA for the assigned team; built bespoke UI and API automation frameworks (Python, NodeJS, Selenium) running on AWS — Fargate/ECR scheduled containers, Lambda-backed mock APIs, S3 reporting, Secrets Manager.
• Set up automated OWASP ZAP security scanning in the CI/CD pipeline; tested for XSS and SQL injection; audited web servers with NMAP.
• Cross-browser testing via BrowserStack saved ~80 hours of manual effort; automated verification of 30k records, reducing a 95-hour estimate to 10 hours.
• Tested an ETL-backed big-data application through complex SQL (PostgreSQL, Azure Databricks).

Tigerspike — Melbourne

• Led automation testing across all projects; implemented four API automation frameworks (C#/.NET, NodeJS) on AWS with Jenkins CI/CD.
• Discovered via Wireshark that a mobile app called client webservices over plain HTTP (MITM exposure) and found a SQL injection with a remote-code-execution POC — both remediated with the client.
• Participated in pre-sales, winning client buy-in to fund test automation in the development budget.

Nintex Pty Ltd — Melbourne

• Delivered a BDD UI/API automation framework (Selenium, SpecFlow, C#) automating 500+ manual test cases — regression cycle reduced from 3 weeks to 4 hours.
• Built a test data generator with mocked external sources, enabling robust negative testing; verified ETL data-warehouse loads through complex SQL.
• OWASP-based security testing — demonstrated privilege escalation via SQL injection on the user management page.
• Mentored junior engineers on Page Object Model, SOLID, KISS and DRY; reported QA process adherence to the CTO.
