## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to lead hands-on test automation and AI-assisted testing initiatives for broadband, WiFi, telecom, or network platforms, combining Python, LLM integration, framework design, CI/CD, and technical mentoring.
```

## About

```text
I've led test automation and network validation for Altice USA, Calix, and F5 Networks, building Python and Robot Framework automation for broadband gateways, WiFi, REST APIs, and device management.

At Infosys, I lead technical validation across DOCSIS and Fiber Gateway platforms, integrate Jenkins-based execution and reporting, and support framework improvements, reviews, and automation best practices. I also built TestPilot AI, a Python-based solution that generates structured test cases from requirements and analyzes automation failures using LLM APIs.

Over 17+ years, I've delivered telecom, datacom, LTE, WiFi, and network-security testing for organizations including Ericsson, NEC, Nokia/NSN, BSkyB, IP Infusion, and Cisco. I enjoy hands-on technical leadership through test strategy, framework design, troubleshooting, code reviews, and mentoring engineers.
