I’m a QA Lead / SDET Architect specializing in automation and API testing for real-time payments.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I lead QA architecture and automation strategy for real-time payment and distributed platforms, with 11+ years of experience in automation framework design, API testing, and microservices validation. At Visa, I built a Selenium + TestNG automation framework from scratch, architected Rest Assured API automation for ISO 20022 PACS workflows, and implemented RabbitMQ-driven event validation to ensure transaction state transitions and processing integrity.
I focus on reliability at scale—validating blue-green deployment strategies for zero-data-loss ledger rollouts, performing CDC pipeline validation across staging/testing/production, and building async validation and CI reliability solutions. I’m now applying AI/ML to QA by developing an AI-driven CI Reliability Intelligence platform for flaky test prediction, explainability (SHAP), and intelligent test selection using FastAPI and GitHub Actions.
