AI-Driven Quality Engineering Architect | GenAI Testing, Agentic AI & Automation-First QE Transformation | Banking, BFSI, Healthcare, Information Security

About

I'm a Quality Engineering leader with 18+ years of experience driving enterprise-wide QE transformation, AI-first testing strategy, and large-scale automation programs across banking, BFSI, healthcare, and public sector. Right now, I'm architecting a unified, AI-augmented test automation framework for HDFC Bank's digital banking programme — spanning backend, mobile, API, and cross-channel coverage on pytest-bdd — leading a 9-engineer team across a 7,166-test-case portfolio. I build the AI layer into QE itself: Copilot-based agents that generate test cases and Playwright scripts directly from Excel requirements, and self-healing automation agents for web, mobile, and API that have replaced 50% of manual sanity-testing effort and 30% of regression-testing effort in production banking workflows. Other things I bring: GenAI/LLM testing strategy (model validation, hallucination/bias detection, responsible-AI release controls), QE Center of Excellence setup, and hands-on architecture across Selenium, Playwright, Appium, Azure OpenAI, LangChain, and MCP-based tooling. Open to conversations on AI-first QE, test automation architecture, and GenAI quality strategy — feel free to connect.

Work experience

Technical Architect at Wipro, Feb 2026 - Present · 8 mos, Bengaluru, Architecting a unified, AI-augmented pytest-bdd test automation framework for Bank's digital banking programme — spanning backend, mobile, API, and cross-channel (net banking + mobile banking) • Designed the framework's core architecture: dual-engine automation (Playwright for shadow-DOM/modern UI, Selenium for legacy screens), Built an English-to-BDD AI converter using the Claude API that translates plain-language requirements into pytest-bdd test scenarios. • Built Copilot-based AI agents for automated test-case and Playwright-script generation from Excel requirements — an end-to-end automation solution — plus separate self-healing agents for web, mobile, and API automation, deployed in production banking workflows; replaced ~50% of manual sanity-testing effort and ~30% of regression-testing effort. • Structured a multi-phase, 16-week delivery roadmap; used Monte Carlo simulation to set monthly automation targets (450–500 scripts) at 80% delivery confidence against a team velocity of ~22 scripts/engineer/day. • Integrated the framework end-to-end with Jira, Zephyr Scale, Jenkins, Docker, Headspin, and GCP Firebase Test Lab. • Defined AI testing strategy for GenAI/LLM-powered applications firm-wide — model validation, prompt testing, hallucination/bias detection, and responsible-AI release controls
