## About

```text
At KPIT Technologies, I set up and commissioned live HIL test benches for Stellantis powertrain ECU validation. I integrated HIL simulators, ECUs, I/O modules, fault-insertion units, sensors, actuators, and power supplies for closed-loop testing.

I developed and executed HIL test cases for powertrain functions, including torque management and torque limitation. My test strategies reduced manual testing effort by 30% and improved test coverage by 25%.

At Tata Consultancy Services, I developed and modified MATLAB/Simulink models for Renault Nissan automotive control systems. I also developed and executed functional test cases and performed MIL testing to verify model behavior against requirements.

I hold the ISTQB Certified Tester – Foundation Level certification and a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering. My work has included ASPICE V-Model activities, CAN-based testing, and ECU validation.
