Vinayak Metrani — Co-Founder

🔧 Senior QA Lead | 13+ Years | Firmware • IoT • SaaS • AI-Driven Testing I don't just find bugs — I build the systems that prevent them. Over the past 13 years, I've designed and delivered production-grade automation frameworks across firmware, IoT, SaaS, virtualization, railway, and enterprise HR domains. From GPIO/UART embedded testing at the hardware layer to CI/CD-integrated regression pipelines at scale — I've owned quality end to end. What sets me apart: 🤖 Early AI adopter in QA — I actively use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to generate complex test scenarios, surface edge cases, and accelerate automation script development. This isn't a buzzword for me — it's part of my daily workflow. ⚙️ Framework builder — I've architected custom PyTest and Playwright-based automation frameworks from scratch, including XFail pipelines with JIRA metadata, multi-tier regression suites, and CI-integrated test gates. 🔬 Deep embedded expertise — Firmware validation across GPIO, UART, PWM, RGB, CCT, and power control interfaces for real IoT devices (not just web apps). 🚀 Cross-domain range — Citrix virtualization → HP printer systems → Railway safety apps → SearchStax SaaS → SAP SuccessFactors → IoT firmware. I adapt fast and deliver quality everywhere. Currently exploring senior QA Lead, QA Manager, Test Architect, and SDET Lead opportunities — preferably at product-based companies where quality is a core engineering value, not an afterthought. If you're building something that needs to work reliably at scale, let's talk. 📩 vinayakmetrani@gmail.com | 📞 +91 9916258720
