Lead SDET

Sep 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 8 mos · Pune District, Maharashtra, India · On-site

  • QA Leadership & Strategy: Spearheaded the end-to-end QA function for an AAA gaming startup, defining strategy, quality standards, and KPIs while managing cross-functional relationships across Engineering, Product, and Operations.
  • Team Building & Scaling: Built and led high-performing SDET teams, hiring and mentoring engineers to scale functional, API, and performance automation efforts aligned with rapid release cycles.
  • ML Validation Pipeline: Built an end-to-end ML validation pipeline for an in-house XGBoost fraud detection model, leveraging MLflow, TFMA, and Scikit-learn to automate performance monitoring and generate critical metrics (AUC, F1, KS, feature drift).
  • ML Governance & Data Quality: Established model governance by conducting bias and fairness analysis (AIF360, Fairlearn) and designing a reusable validation framework (Great Expectations, EvidentlyAI, Pandas Profiling) to ensure data integrity and detect drift.
  • Automation Frameworks (Full-Stack): Designed and implemented robust, scalable automation frameworks for API (Rest Assured/GraphQL), distributed load testing (Locust), and E2E UI (Playwright) across key web and backend services with CI integration.
  • AI-Driven QA Acceleration: Pioneered the integration of AI-driven QA (Cursor, ChatGPT, Agentic AI) to accelerate automation script generation and utilized Ragas for rigorous RAG evaluation of LLM-powered features.
  • Quality & Risk Management: Formulated and executed comprehensive QA strategies (including release risk assessment and disaster recovery validation) and championed a culture of continuous improvement through metrics-driven QA health reports.
  • Model Robustness & Collaboration: Validated model robustness against gaming behavior using synthetic data, Monte-Carlo sampling, and adversarial testing, while collaborating with developers and DevOps to embed quality early in the SDLC.
