About

I'm the QE leader companies bring in when AI ships faster than the team can validate it. 10.5 years across Ubisoft and MPL, built validation hitting 98% LLM accuracy at INR 1B+ daily GMV. Over the last decade I've moved from console QA at Ubisoft to leading QE for AI-driven fintech at MPL. The through-line: building quality systems that scale with the product, not behind it. Shift-Left isn't a slogan, it's how I architect CI/CD, automation frameworks, and validation pipelines so engineering teams ship faster with fewer defects. What I bring: - AI/LLM Quality: validation frameworks for RAG, adversarial prompts, golden datasets, hallucination suites - 98% predictive accuracy in production at MPL - High-Scale Reliability: INR 1B+ (~$12M USD) daily GMV at 99.9% uptime; CI/CD frameworks that cut deployment lead time 50% and post-release defects 75% - Leadership: 24+ engineers across U.S., Brazil, India with 90% retention; QE roadmap aligned with VP-level stakeholders - Gaming heritage: 8 AAA titles at Ubisoft, Gold Master + TRC/TCR console certification, stress-testing pipelines simulating 500K+ CCU Looking for: Engineering Manager / Senior Engineering Manager / Test Automation, or AI Quality. Remote, hybrid, or onsite across Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR or worldwide remote. If you're hiring or know someone who is: DM here Technical Core: Java, Selenium, Playwright, CI/CD (Jenkins, BitBucket), Microservices, AWS, Kafka, gRPC, PostgreSQL, Postman, Grafana, JIRA, TestRail, Load Testing, REST/SOAP APIs | AI/LLM: LLM Evaluation, RAG Testing, Prompt Engineering, Adversarial Prompt Testing, Hallucination Testing, Golden Dataset Regression | Gaming: Ubisoft Anvil/AnvilNext/Dunia/Snowdrop/Disrupt, Unity, Unreal, TRC/TCR Console Certification, 500K+ CCU stress testing.
