I build AI-driven quality platforms that continuously verify mobile, API, and production behavior.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently building AI agents for mobile and API verification at Pop UPI. I built Forge, an open-sourceable mobile automation tool that combines LLM agents and Appium to generate, execute, and maintain Android test suites from natural-language intent.
At AppsForBharat, I led SDETs building automation-first quality infrastructure for Sri Mandir, increasing automation efficiency by 33%. I introduced an AI-powered Playwright framework that reduced manual test-cycle effort and helped reduce post-release defects by 12%.
Previously, I built automated test frameworks at Koo, Razorpay, and Goodbox, spanning UI, REST, performance, mobile, web, cloud devices, and Kubernetes migration validation. My work has improved automation efficiency, coverage, production reliability, and team productivity.
I believe quality should be engineering-owned: independent, high-fidelity feedback loops should make production behavior and drift visible without becoming release gates.
