What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead quality strategy and AI-augmented automation for complex products, building reliable release processes, mentoring QA engineers, and improving delivery speed without compromising quality.

At Zupee, I own end-to-end quality for Finance and Growth, delivering GST, TDS, and compliance releases with zero production leakage. I built AI-powered multi-agent QA systems using AutoGen and MCP, while automation and CI/CD improvements cut regression effort by 50% and release cycles by 40%.

Previously at Samsung Electronics Research Institute, I led QA for Android smartphone platforms and North American carrier programs, improving release stability by 30%+. I lead teams, shape test strategy, and build reliable automation across Selenium, Playwright, Appium, APIs, databases, and mobile platforms.
