Message

At Dell Technologies, I coordinate QA release delivery and lead functional testing across GC, Replication, and Cloud coverage. I built and deployed an AI-powered Claude Python log analyzer and test-debug portal that was adopted across QA.

At DDN India Pvt Ltd., I developed test plans from architecture specifications for NFS and file system features in TXOS releases, and led cross-functional QA execution across teams in the US, India, and Japan. I also created performance test suites to benchmark builds and track release quality.

Earlier, at Western Digital, I owned unit and sanity testing for nightly builds, ran regression suites, and corrected script issues. Across my storage QA work, I’ve developed Python and Shell scripts, supported NFS qualification, and tested NetApp storage platforms; I hold certifications including NCDA and ISTQB Foundation.
