What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or contribute to AI-driven QA, test automation, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure work where I can build scalable CI/CD and resilient testing solutions.

I've led AI-driven test automation, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure work for PRP Softwares, Quick Heal Technologies, Persistent Systems, Calsoft, Veritas Technologies, and Imagination Technologies.

At PRP Softwares, I directed a nine-engineer team delivering end-to-end automation, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and LLM-based test data generation, validation, and reporting for Generative AI and Agentic AI applications.

At Persistent Systems and Veritas, I built scalable UI, API, database, storage, and cloud testing workflows, improved data reliability by 30%, maintained 99.9% availability, and reduced regression execution time through AI-assisted automation and intelligent prioritization.

My work spans Python, Pytest, Selenium, Playwright, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, AWS, Linux, storage systems, embedded platforms, and AI/ML. I enjoy building resilient automation frameworks and helping teams deliver reliable software faster.
