I build agentic AI systems and scalable enterprise test automation.

I'm building a multi-agent library management system that supports WhatsApp book search, borrowing, librarian approvals, donation tracking, semantic search, and automated quality evaluation before deployment.

At JPMorgan Chase, I built event-driven portfolio rebalancing and hybrid RAG systems using FastAPI, Kafka, LangGraph, Qdrant, Neo4j, Jenkins, and Docker. I also led shift-left automation and modernized legacy Selenium and REST Assured frameworks with Playwright and Pytest, reducing E2E execution times by 40–60%.

Earlier, I owned QA for Walmart’s order management workflows, built parallelized education-platform automation at Pearson, and led end-to-end quality delivery for PayPal features. I bring 15+ years across e-commerce, EdTech, and investment banking, connecting production AI systems with reliable enterprise quality practices.
