About me

My QA career started with one question: what makes software reliable? Fourteen years later I'm still answering it, now with automation frameworks instead of spreadsheets.

I've tested banking platforms at Oracle, trade-finance AI at Cleareye.ai, and banking and trading systems at LTIMindtree, plus enterprise platforms at UST and Tech Mahindra. Along the way I moved from writing test cases to designing the frameworks teams build on: Python and Java automation, API and performance suites, and CI/CD pipelines that catch defects before customers do.

The last 3 years pulled me into AI testing. I built a Python framework that validates LLM model accuracy against defined KPIs, which cut manual validation effort by 70% on a production document-intelligence platform.

When I'm leading a team, my measure of success is simple: releases go out faster, fewer defects come back, and the engineers I mentor outgrow me.

“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.”— Henry Ford. The quote my whole career keeps proving true.
Services

What I do

Test automation architecture

Framework design from scratch or migration from legacy stacks. Robot Framework, Selenium, Playwright, REST Assured, Pytest, TestNG. Built for maintainability: page objects, modular layers, CI/CD-ready.

🤖

AI & LLM model testing

Accuracy validation for AI models with measurable KPIs. I design test datasets, scoring logic, and automated pipelines that tell you exactly how your model performs release over release.

🚀

API test automation

End-to-end API coverage with Postman, Newman, and REST Assured. 1000+ endpoints automated on a single trade-finance platform, with schema, business-rule, and contract checks gating every release.

📈

Performance & reliability engineering

Non-functional requirements treated as first-class. I design load and stress tests that mirror real production traffic with JMeter and Azure Load Testing, surface bottlenecks early, and keep systems stable under peak banking volumes.

👥

QA leadership & team enablement

Test strategy, quality KPIs, defect metrics, and team upskilling. 15+ training sessions delivered; teams of up to 11 engineers led and mentored.
