About

As a Senior Quality Engineering Manager at Hexaview Technologies, I lead the charge in building modern QA and automation practices that merge human expertise with AI innovation. With 17+ years of experience across leadership, software testing, and AI-driven automation, I specialize in shaping quality strategies that deliver measurable impact for clients. I partner closely with business and technology leaders - from driving client demos and technical sales support to steering automation proofs-of-concept that influence key decisions. My portfolio spans web automation (Selenium, Playwright, Functionize, MCP-based AI frameworks), API testing & automation, and intelligent test orchestration across diverse enterprise systems. Beyond technology, I focus on coaching, mentoring, and building high-performing teams that thrive on innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement. I take pride in fostering a Quality Center of Excellence mindset - introducing new frameworks, shaping dashboards and KPIs (coverage, efficiency, ROI), and ensuring QA is seen not as a gatekeeper, but as a true business enabler. Previously, as Technical Lead at Wipro, I championed AI-powered testing and Functionize adoption at scale, strengthening automation adoption across global teams. Certified in advanced AI testing frameworks, I continue to explore the future of QA - where AI-augmented testing, prompt engineering, and agent-based automation redefine the way we assure quality. šŸ”¹ Strengths: Strategic QA leadership | AI-augmented automation | Client engagement & pre-sales support | Test metrics & governance | Coaching & mentoring šŸ”¹ Mission: To enable organizations to deliver faster, smarter, and higher-quality digital experiences through next-gen automation frameworks and empowered teams.
