About

Software engineer and QA specialist with 2+ years at Tata Consultancy Services and an MSc in Computer Science from The University of Queensland. At TCS, I shipped full-stack features across Python, Java, and JavaScript; built 3 Power BI dashboards that replaced manual reporting for business stakeholders; developed R Shiny applications for self-serve analytics; and owned end-to-end QA cycles — functional, regression, API, and integration — maintaining zero critical escapes across four consecutive release cycles. My MSc covered AI, Machine Learning, NLP, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, and Advanced Databases. I hold 10 professional certifications, including Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, Power BI, Agile, Git, and Cybersecurity, and regularly use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT) to accelerate delivery. Based in Bengaluru. Open to remote freelance and contract opportunities globally — I work independently, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and can own projects end-to-end.
