# Pavan Joshi on Tal

## Headline

Senior Quality Engineer \| SDET \| Fintech Trading Systems & Agentic AI

## About

SDET with 6\+ years of experience across low\-latency, high\-performance trading systems and modern AI applications\. At Happiest Minds, I work on testing agentic AI and RAG\-based LLM systems — solving challenges around evaluation, hallucination detection, and non\-deterministic outputs\. At Synechron \(CME Group\), engineered end\-to\-end QA solutions for Globex — built from scratch a custom Python library on Robot Framework that enabled scalable end\-to\-end integration testing across CME Globex's distributed trading infrastructure, with built\-in FIX/FIXP protocol validation and deployment managed via Docker, GKE, and GCP services\. Strong advocate for observability\-driven testing and platform engineering — believing that deep telemetry, traceability, and infrastructure ownership are what separate reactive QA from engineering\-grade quality\. Experience spans: • Test strategy & architecture • API & UI automation • Distributed systems & cloud testing • FIX/FIXP protocol validation • AI/LLM evaluation frameworks
