M. Lareb Zafar — QA Manager

I’m a Lead / Staff SDET with 9+ years of experience ensuring the quality and resilience of distributed systems, databases, Kubernetes, and cloud-native platforms. My expertise lies in building scalable automation frameworks, strengthening CI/CD pipelines, and driving chaos, stress, and reliability testing to ensure systems perform under real-world conditions. I am passionate about working at the intersection of quality engineering and distributed systems, with a strong focus on observability, performance, and reliability at scale. I enjoy creating solutions that not only improve testing efficiency but also enhance overall system stability and developer productivity. I’ve also created several tools, including: YBFuzz (https://github.com/zlareb1-yb/YBFuzz) – SQL fuzzing framework for uncovering query engine bugs. ybchaos – a chaos engineering framework for testing fault tolerance in distributed environments. CRC (Cloud Resource Cleanup) (https://github.com/yugabyte/cloud-resource-cleanup) – tool for detecting and cleaning unused cloud resources, saving 1+ Million $ in infrastructure costs at Yugabyte. With a proven track record of leading teams, streamlining processes, and sharing knowledge through open-source and blogs, I thrive in roles where I can combine technical depth, leadership, and innovation to deliver impact. 🔗 GitHub: github.com/zlareb1-yb
