I build AI-native test automation and quality strategy for regulated fintech platforms.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At OakNorth, I build and evolve production-grade automation for a regulated UK banking platform, covering 40+ microservices and 30+ critical user journeys. I created Playwright E2E and Rest Assured API frameworks from scratch, helping grow automation coverage from 30% to 85%+ and save 60% of regression effort.
I also built a live self-healing agentic test automation pipeline using Claude Sonnet agents that turns Jira acceptance criteria into Playwright tests, pull requests, and Jira/Slack reports. The agents diagnose failures, repair tests, and re-run checks autonomously, reducing test authoring from roughly eight hours to two hours per story.
Beyond automation, I own QA strategy, quality SLAs, release readiness, and go-live decisions, while contributing to roadmap planning as a Proxy PO. I’ve reduced UAT defects by 40% year over year, sustained defect leakage below 2% across 20+ releases, and mentored QA engineers in shift-left practices.
