SDET @Swiggy | Backend Engineering | Python, AI/LLM Testing | Product driven Software Engineer

About

SDET with deep expertise in AI/LLM quality assurance and backend development. SDET & AI/LLM Quality: I specialize in testing intelligent systems. Strong expertise in test automation frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, Pytest) combined with deep understanding of system architecture and AI evaluation methodologies. At Apna, I evaluated AI Voice Agent features across different models, engineered evaluation frameworks, and built systematic approaches to AI quality assurance moving beyond manual testing to production-grade AI validation. Backend Development: I've also contributed to backend development across Django, Go (Gin), and Spring Boot. Worked on designing and developing features, solving critical issues, and building observability into systems. This backend knowledge ensures I test systems with architectural understanding, not just surface-level validation. My Unique Combination: SDET + AI Systems + Backend Engineering. I combine test automation expertise with deep AI system understanding and backend development knowledge. This allows me to: 1. Design systematic test strategies for AI-driven backend services 2. Understand the systems calling AI models (not just test the AI) 3. Build reliable, observable systems that users trust What I Believe: Quality is built in, not bolted on. Especially for AI systems test early, evaluate systematically, monitor continuously. Tech Stack: Cypress, Playwright, Pytest | Python, Go, Django, Spring Boot | AI evaluation, RAG frameworks, LLM understanding | Datadog, observability Always interested in: AI-driven features, quality automation, system design, observability.

SDET at Swiggy, May 2026 - Present · 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

SDET 1 at apna, Jun 2025 - May 2026 · 1 yr, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, 1. Test Automation & Coverage: Contributed to and expanded Playwright + Pytest automation suite for UI and API testing, increasing test coverage and reducing manual testing cycles by 50%. 2. AI-Powered Quality Assurance: Owned end-to-end testing of AI Voice Agent; verified performance across different LLM models; engineered system prompts and response schema for desired LLM output; designed RAG-based evaluation framework with LLM-as-judge for non-deterministic responses enabling production-grade AI feature validation. 3. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Risk Mitigation: Partnered across Product, Design, and Development teams from PRD grooming through deployment; highlighted technical risks and edge cases early accelerating feature alignment and reducing mid-stage pivots. 4. End-to-End Feature Ownership: Took complete ownership of features across development and testing from design and implementation (HLD/LLD), test execution; identified and implemented optimizations, resolved critical bugs, and ensured reliable rollouts with zero critical production issues. 5. Backend Development & System Integration: Developed backend features across Django, Go (Gin), and Java (Spring Boot) frameworks; owned end-to-end solutioning (problem analysis, HLD/LLD design, implementation, and verification); integrated 40+ communication channels (WhatsApp, SMS, Email) into existing features, increasing customer engagement and feature adoption; Worked on Temporal-based workflow orchestration, resolving critical stability issues: reduced workflow failures by 40%, optimized call dropout rates, eliminated candidate flow bottlenecks; integrated Temporal with Datadog for production observability. 6. Observability, Debugging & Production Monitoring: Configured Datadog alerts, GCP Cloud Scheduler, and anomaly detection for owned features; debugged production issues using GCP Log Explorer and trace analysis; reduced mean-time-to-resolution by 35%; served as on-call engineer for owned features.

Software Engineer Intern at Securonix, Jul 2024 - May 2025 · 11 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, 1. Test Automation & Coverage: Designed and executed 200+ Cypress automation test cases using Page Object Model, achieving 90% end-to-end UI test coverage and reducing manual testing effort by 40% for critical workflows. 2. Manual Testing & Quality Assurance: Managed 300+ functional, regression, and integration test cases in TestRail; authored comprehensive test documentation (test plans, cases, bug reports) following ISTQB best practices, ensuring robust validation of features pre-release. 3. Infrastructure Management & DevOps: Administered RHEL servers across 5 AWS test environments; performed build deployments from dev to production-like servers, including version-specific application upgrades/downgrades (Tomcat, Redis), build compatibility verification, and hotfix validation. Optimized infrastructure costs by monitoring and scheduling service start/stop cycles, reducing cloud spend by ~15% through resource utilization improvements. 4. Cross-functional Collaboration & Customer Interaction: Partnered with developers and product managers to resolve critical vulnerabilities; conducted customer verification calls to validate reported issues and confirm fixes reducing bug resolution time by 25%.
