About Me

I'm a passionate Quality Engineering leader specializing in building robust, scalable test automation frameworks and driving quality transformation initiatives. With over 15 years of experience, I've worked across diverse domains including ServiceNow, Oracle Financials, and enterprise integration platforms.

My expertise spans from architecting AI-powered test automation solutions using Playwright and Selenium to implementing comprehensive QA strategies that measurably reduce production defects. I'm particularly passionate about leveraging GenAI and machine learning to revolutionize software testing.

Currently serving as a Test Architect at Wipro, I lead teams in delivering high-quality software while mentoring the next generation of QA professionals. I believe in shift-left testing, continuous improvement, and building quality into every stage of the development lifecycle.
