About

Techno-Managerial Leader with over 25 years of experience in software engineering, quality assurance, AI/ML and IT operations. Recognized for driving excellence across engineering functions in global product-based organizations, I am committed to delivering high-quality software, leading Agile transformations, and building secure, scalable systems that meet rigorous standards for performance and reliability. Alongside my extensive corporate experience, I co-founded and led an IT solutions startup, focusing on digital transformation and infrastructure services for SMBs, including innovative IoT-based solutions and Pi-based firewall systems. This entrepreneurial background enriches my expertise in managing end-to-end product development, customer engagement, and sustainable growth strategies. My development experience includes building scalable, high-performance applications in .NET, Java, and Python using Flask and Django frameworks. I led code quality improvement efforts through static code analysis, enhancing coverage, maintainability, reliability, security, and reducing code smells. My testing experience spans UI, API, and performance (Selenium, TestNG, JMeter, Postman) as well as security assessments (ZAP, Nessus) and backend scripting in Linux and Windows environments. In DevOps and cloud computing, I leverage tools like Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and understand the API-first design to ensure smooth deployments and operational resilience. My cloud infrastructure experience (Private Cloud, Azure, AWS), along with CI/CD and load balancing, supports high-traffic application scalability. Additionally, I integrate AI/ML, deploying NLP and deep learning models to drive intelligent automation and informed decision-making. You can explore some of my AI/ML projects and demos at https://www.sanjeeva.kowtal.in/projects. As a certified Scrum Master and a postgraduate in AI/ML from the University of Texas at Austin, I am passionate about applying AI/ML insights to optimize engineering and QA processes. Through initiatives like Tech Centers of Excellence and QA Councils, I foster a collaborative, quality-centric culture. If you’re looking for leadership in engineering and technology, I’d be happy to connect at sanjeeva@kowtal.in or via my portfolio at https://www.sanjeeva.kowtal.in.
