I currently work as a Automation & Technical Support Engineer at KPIT Technologies, contributing to automotive software validation and DevOps initiatives for Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India (On-site). My role bridges automation engineering and cloud-native practices. I contribute to Lua-based automation frameworks that validate FOTA (Firmware Over-the-Air) software update workflows across multiple ECU configurations, ensuring reliable update, rollback, and failure handling scenarios. Alongside embedded automation, I design and maintain Python-based automated test cases covering edge, negative, and regression scenarios to improve software quality and resilience. I actively contribute to CI/CD pipeline integration using Git-based workflows and Docker, enabling trigger-based automated test execution and reducing manual validation efforts. I also support Kubernetes-based environments and Infrastructure as Code initiatives using Terraform, aligning testing platforms with scalable cloud-native principles. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams on log monitoring, defect analysis, and root cause investigation to improve automation stability and delivery efficiency. Passionate about cloud, DevOps, and scalable automation systems, I’m continuously expanding my expertise in AWS and cloud-native technologies to build reliable, production-ready platforms.
