About

i believe in "It is not about the tools. It is about what the carpenters do with them". I am a passionate self driven engineer. I am in SDET by choice. I started my journey 12 years back and worked with Intel Security, Arcesium (De Shaw), Rubrik in different roles and responsibilities. I did work as sdet and developer based on the team requirements. I worked on all aspects of testing cycle like 1. Requirements gathering , discussing design with dev and coming up with test plans for functional , stress, perf testing, test execution and release qualification 2. Building automation frameworks and tools from scratch by reducing release cycle time and cost to company 3. Leading and guiding teams to achieve common goals I am really passionate about product quality and developing frameworks/ tools to achieve it by using latest technologies . I believe QA is a domain, which has huge scope of improving existing processes and methodologies using the latest technologies. I envision a world , where 60-70% of testing should be able to complete automatically by training ,auto identifying patterns etc by itself and sdet’s should be developing such tools using NLP, ML that can achieve it. I love to keep track of latest trends in testing domain
