About

"Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort." – John Ruskin Achieving high-quality software requires strategic planning, automation, and continuous improvement. With 15+ years in Quality Engineering, I specialize in shift-left strategies, automation, CI/CD, and performance testing across OTT, multimedia, embedded systems, and cloud platforms. A proficient Agile practitioner, I integrate Agile, SAFe, and Kanban methodologies to enhance efficiency, collaboration, and high-quality delivery. My 3+ years of client-facing experience, including Tataplay, strengthened my ability to navigate complex needs, work with multiple stakeholders, and adapt to dynamic environments. I played a key role in automating backend APIs using REST-Assured, achieving 99% accuracy, improving production monitoring for the OTT Aggregator app. Additionally, I redesigned and implemented the RF Headend System at Sling’s Bangalore office, integrating ATSC, QAM, and Satellite Feed Simulators. I have visited factory sites to optimize embedded product quality, achieving 99.9% production efficiency while refining cost-failure insights. My involvement in 40+ BETA events, live debugging, and failure analysis has led to improved product designs for OTT, OTA, and embedded applications. Proficient in REST API automation, Azure DevOps, JIRA-Confluence, and various industry tools, I ensure seamless test execution and product reliability across iOS, Android, ROKU, and Smart TVs. Passionate about mentoring teams, driving innovation, and optimizing quality processes, I aim to lead teams toward unparalleled efficiency in software testing. I am highly enthusiastic about identifying root-cause-level bugs and problems, making it a core mindset in my approach over the past 15 years. I have mentored teams to adopt the same precision-driven mindset, ensuring effective issue resolution without unnecessary noise Beyond tech, I am committed to sustainable farming, guiding farmers in maintaining chemical-free soil and optimizing crop yields through eco-friendly practices. 📩 Let’s connect! – sureshdvcareer@gmail.com
