About

Results-driven AI Test Manager and Test Architect with 14+ years of experience leading quality engineering initiatives across global financial institutions including JP Morgan Chase and UBS. 🤖 AI-First Testing Approach I extensively use GitHub Copilot as a daily coding multiplier — generating Selenium, Playwright, and Appium test scripts, scaffolding automation frameworks, and completing complex Java/Python logic with AI assistance. This reduces script authoring time by ~50% and frees the team to focus on strategy and coverage. I combine Copilot with ChatGPT and Claude AI for test case ideation, defect root-cause analysis, and automated test plan drafting — creating a fully AI-augmented QE workflow. 🏗️ Architecture & Frameworks Expert in designing enterprise-grade automation frameworks (Page Object Model, Data Driven, Keyword Driven, Hybrid) using Java, Python, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, RestAssured, and Cucumber. Proven in architecting CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, Jenkins, TeamCity, Maven, and Bitbucket. 📊 Performance & Cloud Delivered performance engineering programmes using JMeter, BlazeMeter, LoadRunner, and Gatling. Certified in AWS (Cloud Practitioner) and Microsoft Azure (AZ-900). 👥 Leadership Led and mentored cross-functional QE teams of 10+. Championed AI tool adoption (GitHub Copilot, Applitools, Mabl) across engineering teams. Owned test strategy, quality gates, and compliance-level quality on financial transaction systems. 🔧 Core Stack Java · Python · Selenium · Playwright · Appium · RestAssured · Cucumber · JMeter · BlazeMeter · Jenkins · GitLab CI · Docker · AWS · Azure · JIRA Open to Test Manager, Test Architect, QE Lead, and SDET Lead roles at top-tier firms across India.
