IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Bank of America, I direct end-to-end quality engineering and release management for critical trading platforms. By integrating AI-augmented tools and hybrid automation into complex testing workflows, I reduced regression testing turnaround by 75%.
I introduced Shift-Left testing gates across active sprints, maintaining a 95% reduction in production defect leakage. I also governed executive UAT frameworks with senior traders and desk leads, incorporating their feedback into live releases without delivery delays.
At FICO, I established the Bangalore QA organization and set enterprise integration architecture standards for REST API and web services testing. At Fidelity Investments, I led a team of nine quality engineers building scalable automation frameworks for the Investment Management Technology division.
Earlier, at DSL SOFTWARE, I engineered Cash Management software solutions and developed automated regression testing suites. Across my work, I’ve focused on quality engineering for investment banking and capital markets, including regulatory delivery and compliance.
