About

Lead QA Consultant with 8+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, driving Lease & Lending transformation and delivering scalable, high-impact QA solutions across FinTech/NBFC, Aviation,CRM, and SaaS platforms. I specialize in defining QA strategy, test governance, and automation roadmaps for complex enterprise systems, with strong expertise in API-first architectures, continuous quality delivery, and AI-enabled testing. My core skills span functional, automation, API, and database testing, with hands-on experience building modern automation frameworks using Python Playwright, Selenium (Java/Python), REST Assured, Postman, Pytest, Cucumber (BDD), TestNG, and Karate DSL. I am actively upskilling in Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance QA workflows through intelligent test design, requirement analysis, and AI-assisted quality engineering. I leverage Prompt Engineering and AI-assisted automation code generation to accelerate test development, improve defect investigation, and enable smarter regression execution across UI and API layers. I am also exploring Private & Local AI model setups (enterprise-safe LLM usage) and emerging standards such as MCP Server concepts to enable AI Agents to integrate seamlessly with automation frameworks, APIs, and QA ecosystems. My learning focus includes Agentic QA Automation and workflow orchestration using tools like n8n, supporting intelligent test case generation, automated reporting, and continuous QA operations. Additionally, I am expanding into Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems using LangChain and Langflow to build QA knowledge assistants for faster onboarding, KT automation, and context-aware test asset generation. I bring strong experience in CI/CD-aligned automation and shift-left testing practices using Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and modern reporting platforms such as Allure and ReportPortal. As a QA Lead and Consultant, I have mentored distributed teams, led UAT and release cycles, and partnered closely with stakeholders to embed quality across the SDLC. Passionate about shaping the future of QA through Automation + AI + Agentic Testing, and building end-to-end intelligent testing solutions at scale.
