Automation Architect at Ford building AI-driven test frameworks and MCP servers for Nukleus Order Management.

India

Message

At Ford, I architected and developed an AI-driven automation framework for Nukleus Order Management, enabling autonomous test-case generation, self-healing scripts, and dynamic test data provisioning. I also designed custom MCP servers to connect LLMs with internal codebase context.

I integrated GitHub Copilot and Atlassian Rovo into the engineering lifecycle, and built scalable Java, Groovy, and BDD Cucumber frameworks for API and UI testing. My CI/CD pipeline work reduced feedback cycles by 90%.

Before Ford, I designed test harnesses for Payment Servicing and Message Replicator at Coforge Ltd., and developed automation for Credit Risk Origination at Standard Chartered GBS Pvt. Ltd. Earlier, I created reusable test frameworks and scripts for education products at Hurix Systems Pvt. Ltd. and automated regression tests for Hapag-Lloyd Tracing.
