@maheshchandra
I lead AI-powered engineering delivery, quality systems, and global teams at enterprise scale.
What I'm looking for
At Randstad Digital, I lead end-to-end engineering delivery for Australian banking clients including Bendigo Bank, NAB, and Macquarie, owning P&L, governance, client relationships, and demand forecasting.
Previously at Maersk GCC, I led quality, delivery strategy, and team development across an eight-product platform. I implemented Dev-to-Prod CI/CD pipelines with feature flags, advanced automation across the platform, and championed GitHub Copilot to improve productivity and code quality.
I've driven zero-defect delivery across KPIT's top 25 accounts, managed quality for 10 Ascena Retail brands, and led delivery for Walmart's global e-commerce automation tracks. My work spans development, testing, release pipelines, architecture reviews, Agile delivery, and stakeholder leadership.
I've built automation frameworks with Selenium, Playwright, Appium, Rest Assured, and Tosca, while leading distributed teams across India, Australia, and the US. I'm a SAFe 6 Agilist and Certified Scrum Master, co-author of Enterprise Sustaining and Scaling of Agile Teams, and a five-time QAI conference author.
