About

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 7+ years of experience in automation, test data engineering, and CI/CD across Web, Mobile, and API platforms. My passion lies in blending Quality Engineering with AI and Data to build smarter, faster, and more scalable testing ecosystems. At Demandbase, I work at the intersection of QA, AI/ML, and cloud engineering — building frameworks that transform test data into strategy. I’ve led initiatives around Generative AI–driven test data generation, tenant data seeding, and AI-powered release analytics, enabling high-velocity, reliable software releases for enterprise SaaS products. Previously at Gojek, American Express, and Barclays, I’ve designed end-to-end automation frameworks, improved automation coverage, and streamlined CI/CD pipelines to ensure zero-defect, high-quality product delivery. I enjoy bridging QA, data, and AI — helping teams shift left, scale efficiently, and reduce manual overhead through innovation and automation. I’m deeply passionate about solving complex problems, mentoring teams on quality best practices, and building products that customers trust and teams are proud to ship. Core Strengths: Generative AI & Synthetic Test Data | Tenant Data Provisioning | Automation Frameworks (UI/API) | CI/CD | Pipeline Analytics | Quality Strategy Always open to exploring opportunities that combine AI, automation, and quality engineering to build the next generation of intelligent testing systems.
