Message

At Fidelity Investments, I set quality engineering and test automation direction across enterprise initiatives. I architected reusable Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, and REST Assured frameworks, increasing UI/API regression coverage by 41 percentage points.

I also built AI-assisted workflows with GitHub Copilot Agents, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for test generation and framework scaffolding. These workflows cut automation onboarding time from nine weeks to four days.

At Palayaker, I led automation strategy and delivery for Fidelity Investments, improving release confidence and reducing production defect escapes by 41%. I designed reusable automation solutions that cut framework maintenance overhead by 39%.

Earlier, I delivered quality engineering and testing for financial services clients including Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, PNC, and Deutsche Bank. My work has included system, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing, as well as defect triage and release-risk reporting.
