IndiaWhat I'm looking for
As a Test Architect and QA Engineering Leader, I bring over 7 years of global IT experience with hands-on and strategic experience in building robust, scalable, and maintainable test automation solutions across banking, logistics, and enterprise software domains.
I specialize in:
Designing and implementing automation frameworks (Java, Selenium, Cucumber, TestNG, RestAssured) that align with modern DevOps practices.
Driving test infrastructure at scale using CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm — reducing regression cycles by up to 65%.
Leading cross-functional QA teams, defining QA roadmaps, owning release cycles, and mentoring engineers to deliver high-quality, production-ready software.
Improving quality engineering maturity by integrating test automation early in SDLC, optimizing test environments, and enabling data-driven test strategies.
Along the way, I’ve delivered results in high-impact environments such as Barclays, INFORM GmbH, Publicis Sapient, and Caterpillar — combining a deep technical foundation with an eye for strategic quality transformation.
