What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead quality engineering transformation where I can scale QA teams, strengthen automation and release governance, apply AI-assisted testing, and improve delivery outcomes across complex enterprise products.

I've led quality engineering programs for AIQU (GAC Group), HCLTech, CPC, Fellow, UST Global, and Mphasis across logistics, ERP, healthcare, financial services, insurance, and retail.

At AIQU, I architected QA strategy and release-readiness frameworks that maintained critical defect rates below 10% and delivered all major product releases on time. I also introduced AI-assisted test generation and defect triage while leading quality validation for Android Scanner devices used in large-scale warehouse operations.

At HCLTech and CPC, I improved non-conformance by approximately 10%, reduced average customer-issue resolution time by 30%, mentored QA teams, and supported 15+ critical deployments with 100% on-time go-lives.

I've built end-to-end automation and non-functional testing capabilities across UI, API, database, performance, and integration testing. I bring 19+ years of experience making quality visible through risk-based testing, release governance, practical metrics, and strong cross-functional delivery.
