At Standard Chartered Bank, I architected an AI-powered Test CoE product that turns user stories into test cases and supports automation code creation, review, and execution. I scaled the generator to over 64,000 test cases, cutting manual test design effort by 20% and delivering approximately $300K in savings.

At Virtusa, for Google, I built a Python automation framework for IoT devices and led a team developing defect-triaging and self-healing test solutions. Earlier, I established automation practices and frameworks across banking, healthcare, telecom, and retail work, including a mobile testing competency at IBM.
