Test Manager and QE Architect at Cognizant, building multi-agent QE automation and internal platforms for a major US pharmacy chain.

United States

Message

At Cognizant US Corp, I manage a team of 5–7 QE Engineers for a major US pharmacy chain while setting QA strategy across concurrent releases. I also built a multi-agent QE automation pipeline with GitHub Copilot Enterprise, covering requirement analysis, test case generation, test data generation, and execution triggers.

I build internal QE platforms, including QE Pulse, an Azure DevOps-connected dashboard, and Python tools for validation, metrics, and test data management. I extended and maintained a Tricentis Tosca framework that raised test coverage by 15% and cut execution time by 20%, and I lead hands-on GenAI enablement for QE and parts of Engineering.
