At Adobe India, I led Quality Engineering for more than 100 enterprise website migration programs, validating over 100,000 webpages. For UPS EDS, my team validated 34,000 pages with zero schedule slippage; for Unilever, we delivered 20 websites with zero UAT issues.

I pioneered Playwright adoption within Adobe ACS APAC and led its implementation across four enterprise programs, including work supporting Tourism Australia. I also designed automation frameworks for migration validation, visual regression, and accessibility testing, reducing migration validation from one week to 2–3 days and automation costs by more than 50%.

At Adobe India and Kobie Marketing Inc., I contributed to AI-assisted Quality Engineering, including test generation, PRD review, and RAG-based system evaluation. One test-generation accelerator produced 512 test cases and reduced manual test-design effort by 80%; I’ve also mentored Quality Engineers and contributed to presales opportunities and enterprise solution delivery.
