Message

At Adidas India, I own end-to-end QA across Product Services, Audience Builder, and Personalisation, from test strategy and defect management to release readiness.

I designed reusable backend API automation frameworks and introduced mock-server integration testing in Jenkins PR pipelines, reducing regression execution time by 88–94%, from 2–3 hours to 10–15 minutes.

I also built OPIM ECOM Diff Analyser and feed comparison tools with AI-assisted coding, reducing validation time for 25,000–50,000 articles from 2–3 days to a few hours. My custom AI agents analyse microservice code, generate test cases, and review automated test results.

Previously, I developed API and UI test automation at Airtel Digital, Mastercard, and Mindtree Limited (now LTM Limited), including testing for SMS services and payment processing. I’ve also led QA delivery and mentored engineers, and I bring hands-on experience with cloud-native systems and performance testing.
