```

## About

```text
At Quark Publishing R&D India, I've led QA for QuarkXPress, QuarkXPress Server, QuarkPublishingPlatform, and QuarkAuthor across Windows and macOS.

I've designed scalable Selenium, TestNG, and White automation frameworks, introduced JMeter performance validation, and integrated release validation through Azure DevOps and JIRA. I use Claude AI to accelerate test-script development, debugging, refactoring, and framework enhancement while validating generated code for reliability.

Over 28+ years in software engineering, including 22 years in QA, I've led and mentored teams of 3–5 engineers through 20+ major release cycles and helped reduce defect leakage through Shift-Left testing, API validation, and structured defect triage.
