About

As a Lead SDET, I specialize in building high-impact test automation strategies, scalable frameworks, and intelligent tools that empower teams to deliver quality at speed. With over 9 years of hands-on experience across product-based and enterprise environments, I bring a deep understanding of end-to-end QA—from test architecture and data generation to CI/CD integration and team leadership. Currently at Borneo, I lead test tooling initiatives, including the design and development of a robust Test Data Generator Tool supporting structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data across multiple databases. This tool has enabled faster, cleaner test cycles and better test coverage. I’ve also built a custom API automation framework using TypeScript and Jest, driving standardization and reusability across teams. Previously at Hevo Data, I architected a full-stack test automation framework using Python (Pytest) and Selenium, implemented REST API automation, and deployed a Dockerized Selenium Grid to optimize cross-browser testing. I integrated pipelines with Jenkins CI, enforced quality through peer code reviews, and automated validation at the database layer using advanced SQL scripts. I’ve led efforts to standardize automation practices, improve test reliability, and enable faster feedback loops. My work often bridges development and DevOps, focusing on shift-left testing, test data management, and intelligent pipeline orchestration. Earlier at Amazon and ASM Technologies, I built strong foundations in mobile, UI, and backend testing. I developed internal Python tools, contributed to in-house frameworks, and automated across devices using UI Automator and Selenium. What sets me apart is my ability to design future-proof automation systems and guide teams through technical transformation—whether it’s adopting containerized test environments, implementing AI-driven testing strategies, or driving quality ownership across the SDLC. I’m passionate about scaling QA, mentoring engineers, and building test infrastructure that grows with the product. If you're looking to evolve your testing culture or solve complex automation challenges, I’d love to connect.
