About

Professional summary

I am a Principal SDET with more than 12 years of experience building enterprise-quality assurance and test automation systems. My work spans automation architecture, API, web UI, mobile, performance, security, and CI/CD quality engineering.

I currently serve as the technical automation authority within a 17-engineer QA organization. I lead a team of five engineers, support end-to-end quality ownership across product solutions, review automation pull requests, and partner with product managers to improve acceptance criteria and testability.

I design scalable automation frameworks using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Robot Framework, Appium, and BDD practices. I have built automation ecosystems for microservices and business applications, helping teams shift from manual testing toward reliable, containerized, parallel test execution.

I specialize in AI and LLM verification, including deterministic and non-deterministic validation, agentic workflow testing, RAG faithfulness evaluation, hallucination mitigation, MCP-based tools, and AI quality gates. I have designed DeepEval-based evaluation harnesses for chatbot quality, tool correctness, safety, latency, and compliance validation.

I am experienced in integrating quality practices into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, and Bitbucket. I also use observability platforms such as ELK Stack and Grafana to provide actionable release-confidence metrics.

I have led distributed teams in asynchronous environments and contribute to QA governance, release planning, root-cause analysis, mentoring, and Agile quality transformation. I am motivated by building maintainable automation platforms that make software delivery faster, safer, and more measurable.
