Established and own the Mobile-as-a-Capability charter across PNP & T4I tech orgs, setting architectural standards and delivery frameworks adopted by 5+ product teams. Architected and led the Expert Chat Communications module on iOS — an AI-first experience serving millions of TurboTax and QuickBooks customers, integrating real-time expert engagement with LLM-driven UX. Founded Project iLLuminati — an Agentic Testing Platform enabling Low/No-Code E2E test authoring across Mobile and Frontend, driving cross-platform coverage from zero with a multi-tool architecture (AI test generator, app crawler, orchestration engine, record-replay engine). Designed and built a Mobile App Crawler (iOS, with Android & Web roadmap) as a core iLLuminati sub-system: autonomously crawls app UI, records & replays interaction flows, generates test cases via Claude/GPT agents, and outputs structured YML/DSL scripts — eliminating manual test authoring. Leading the VEP Mobile Platform enabling expert consultation experiences across multiple Intuit apps, driving AI-first DFU experiences and low-code development using Claude, Cursor, MCPs, and Multi-Agent Architecture. Owned Build Factory & Tailored the importance of Supply Chain Management with visions of AI first Automations & Deployments across multiple technologies including Backend, Frontend & Mobile (iOS & Android). Built and own the Internal Marketplace Platform — a dynamic module onboarding system linking Feature Flags and CI/CD automations for zero-friction deployment across E2E, QAL, Beta, and Prod environments. Championed AI-first Build Factory and Supply Chain Management vision, unifying automation strategies across Backend, iOS, Android, and Frontend with a target of 3× developer velocity. Leads technical hiring, architecture reviews, and cross-functional engineering strategy across multiple capability areas. Mentor developers, conduct code review and maintain quality code throughout all features and defining workflows etc.

Owned and scaled the iOS Core Automation Platform (CAP) — enabling any internal team to onboard, trigger, and validate E2E tests with automated triage and error classification, serving hundreds of engineers. Led CI infrastructure migration from Jenkins to Buildkite, achieving and sustaining 99.5% infra reliability — freeing engineering teams to focus on product delivery rather than tooling failures. Architected a Dedicated Staging Infrastructure for automated test execution across physical devices and simulators, establishing the foundation for shift-left testing practices. Drove a TDD-first culture for base frameworks and led systematic error categorization across CI and device logs, significantly reducing mean-time-to-resolution. Championed a developer ownership model for test cases, shifting accountability left and reducing QA bottlenecks. Active contributor to engineering hiring; mentored engineers across automation and mobile platform domains. Led mobile test infrastructure modernization — migrating from XCUITest to Appium with a custom DSL layer, unifying iOS & Android codebases, reducing execution time, and enabling non-iOS engineers to author mobile tests for the first time.
