Software Engineer ♦ Automation ♦ AI Practitioner

About

I'm a quality-focused QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience transforming testing processes through automation and innovation. My passion lies at the intersection of manual testing precision and test automation efficiency, where I've consistently delivered measurable improvements. What started as troubleshooting software bugs in college evolved into my professional mission: creating bulletproof testing frameworks that catch issues before users do. At my current company, I revitalized our quality process by implementing Playwright automation that cut regression testing time by 45% while increasing coverage by 80%. Beyond traditional testing, I'm pioneering the integration of AI in QA processes. My recent POC with TestRigor and AI agents demonstrated how we could generate test scenarios in half the time, convincing even the most skeptical developers on our team of AI's value in QA. I thrive in collaborative environments where quality isn't an afterthought but integral to development. My approach combines technical expertise with clear communication, ensuring developers understand not just what's broken, but why it matters. Having completed my Master's in Computer Science from London Metropolitan University (UK) and B.Tech in CSE from India, I bring a global perspective to software quality. I’m energized by teams that value quality as much as speed. If you’re building innovative solutions in healthcare tech, SaaS, or AI-driven testing—or just want to geek out over test automation—let’s connect! 🔍 Open to relocation for impactful opportunities.
