"Test automation was the last decade. Intelligent, agentic, AI-native Quality Engineering is the next.
I'm not waiting for that future — I'm building it, one AI agent and MCP ecosystem at a time."
I'm a SDET Manager & QE Leader with 10+ years of experience driving automation, performance engineering, and quality transformation across enterprise BFSI platforms.
- 🏦 Led quality engineering transformation at scale — managing teams of up to 10 SDETs across multiple delivery squads
- 📈 Driven automation coverage from 25% to 80% and reduced regression cycle time by 44% through parallel execution
- 🧠 Actively building at the intersection of AI and Quality Engineering — going well beyond AI-assisted test generation
- 🌐 Founder of Quality Testing Hub — helping testers grow from zero to expert
