## 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\.
