About

I test the systems that are hardest to test right now — multi-agent AI workflows, LLM-powered platforms, and the CI/CD pipelines that ship them. 7 years in QA automation across Telecom and Insurance, the last two spent figuring out how to validate reasoning consistency, not just UI clicks. Core Competencies: ► Test Automation & Framework Design (Selenium/Playwright, TestNG, POM) ► CI/CD Pipeline Architecture (Jenkins, GitLab/Github, Docker) ► API & Backend Testing (Postman, RESTful, SQL) ► Cloud & DevOps (AWS Certified, Docker, Linux) ► Agile Methodologies & Defect Management (JIRA, Scrum) Open to conversations on QA automation for AI/ML systems, CI/CD architecture, or SDET roles in product-led orgs.
