## 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\.

Remote, hybrid, or onsite across Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR or worldwide remote\.
