Senior Quality Engineer at Circle building Claude Agent SDK test systems that cut Playwright CI cost 50%.

India

Message

At Circle, I designed and shipped a Claude Agent SDK system that reads pull request diffs and runs only the impacted Playwright tests, cutting CI cost 50%. I also built a self-healing end-to-end framework and automated pipeline-failure analysis that posts fix recommendations to pull requests.

At GitLab Inc., I architected CI test infrastructure handling 100K+ daily executions and drove flakiness from 15% to low single digits. Earlier, I cut Kindle regression at Amazon from eight hours to 40 minutes, and I now build AI agents and RAG systems through FDE Academy's applied-AI program.
