## About

I've spent 14\+ years making sure software doesn't break in production — but the last few years have been about something bigger: making the testing layer intelligent\. At Synchrony Financial, I architected an AI\-powered self\-healing agent for Cypress \(Puppeteer \+ tool\-calling\) and an external healing agent for Selenium — cutting test flakiness by 30% and token costs by 10%\. I also introduced AI\-aided test\-case generation with coverage metrics, reducing manual authoring effort across 13 Agile teams\. Taking Automation from "it runs in CI" to "it thinks, adapts, and reports\." What I do: 🔹 Automation Architecture & CoP in Collaboration with leadership across Enterprise Agile Release Trains 🔹 AI\-augmented testing — Self\-healing agents,Intelligent Test Generation, Multi Agent System 🔹 End\-to\-end quality strategy — Selenium, Cypress, Jmeter, REST APIs, CI/CD 🔹 Domain Coverage — Card Payment Lifecycle , Trade lifecycle with T\+1 Settlement, Exposure to fixed Income Certifications: PMP\|SAFe 6\|PSM I AWS Cloud Practitioner PG: AI & ML — University of Texas at Austin & Great Lakes
