AI/GenAI engineer and senior SDET specializing in LLM automation for financial services.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI/GenAI Engineer and Senior SDET with 14+ years of deep expertise in banking and payment systems, spanning SWIFT, SEPA, and ISO 20022. Today, I specialize in production-grade AI applications—LLM-powered automation systems and intelligent agentic pipelines—built to solve real FinTech operational problems.
In my current role as Assistant Vice President at Wells Fargo, I designed and deployed a GenAI defect analysis assistant that automates root-cause classification of CI/CD test failures across SEPA and ISO 20022 pipelines, reducing manual log investigation effort by ~40%. I also built an LLM-based test data generation engine for realistic SWIFT MT103/MT202 and ISO 20022 pacs.008 payloads, integrated RAG-based log analysis for faster recurring issue resolution (~35% reduction), and implemented prompt-engineered anomaly detection for payment message validation and compliance gaps.
I combine strong software engineering and QA automation foundations with payment domain depth—architecting end-to-end automation for Oracle FLEXCUBE and Oracle Banking Payments using Java, Selenium, Cucumber BDD, and TestNG, and stabilizing CI/CD test pipelines with better synchronization and isolation. I’ve also publicly deployed a live SWIFT & ISO 20022 Intelligence Engine using Claude API, Streamlit, and LangChain, and I continue to expand my GenAI engineering skills through a Professional Certificate Programme in Generative AI and Machine Learning at IIT Guwahati.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Designed and deployed a GenAI-powered defect analysis assistant using Python, LangChain, and the Claude API, reducing manual log investigation effort by ~40%. Architected AI + QA automation for Oracle FLEXCUBE/OBPM, including LLM-based test data generation and RAG-based log analysis that reduced average resolution time by ~35%.
Led the transition from manual to automation by designing a reusable Java/Selenium/Cucumber framework for a large payments platform and integrating it into Jenkins CI pipelines. Defined test strategy for microservices/APIs with database verification and message validations to enable scheduled nightly regressions and build-level quality gates.
Built automated regression suites with Selenium WebDriver, reducing testing time by 60%. Embedded QA earlier in the SDLC, improving defect detection, and mentored junior QA engineers on test automation best practices.
Developed and executed automated and manual test scenarios for high-volume financial applications processing millions of daily transactions, contributing to zero critical defects in production releases. Improved database testing accuracy using advanced SQL validation and stored procedure testing, aligning testing with business requirements across development, BA, and operations teams.
Designed and executed test plans for multiple banking software products and identified/documented 300+ defects to improve system stability. Streamlined bug tracking processes using Confluence.
