About

With extensive experience in software testing and quality engineering, I currently serve as a Lead Engineer at Salesforce, where I lead a core framework team and mentor a broader testing organization supporting the AI Platform and Agentforce. My focus lies in building robust test infrastructures, driving intelligent automation, and enhancing developer velocity. Notable contributions include designing a foundational API/UI automation framework that unified quality efforts across Agentforce and defining end-to-end test strategies for advanced AI functionalities. Previously, I managed and mentored high-performing engineering teams at Jio Platforms Limited, developing scalable UI and API automation frameworks and integrating innovative open-source solutions for quality enhancement. My expertise spans automation frameworks, enterprise quality assurance, and collaborative leadership, all aimed at delivering reliable, high-quality software solutions that empower businesses to achieve operational excellence.

As a Lead Engineer at Salesforce, I lead a 5-person core framework team and mentor a 20+ member testing org, building the core test infrastructure for the AI Platform and supporting Agentforce.
My contributions focus on quality, developer velocity, and intelligent automation:
Enterprise Framework Architecture: Led development of a foundational API/UI automation framework, eliminating test flakiness & simplifying test creation. I drove 100% migration of all Agentforce tests, unifying quality efforts and setting the standard for all new feature automation.
Quality Engineering & AI Test Strategy: As the Agentforce SME, I defined the E2E test strategy for AI functionalities (Streaming, MultiModal, Guardrails, Content Moderation). I'm guiding the development of an AI test agent (NotebookLM & Gemini) to accelerate test generation and implemented an LLM solution to validate complex agent responses. I also won an AI Hackathon for building an Agentforce On-Call Support Agent.
AI-Driven DevEx: Pioneered AI-driven development with thousands of Cursor AI rules. This system automates code generation, framework-specific code reviews, and test creation, significantly cutting dev time.
Technical Leadership: Built a high-performing team by mentoring engineers to own framework features. I drive technical excellence via detailed code reviews, training, and setting quality standards. As a "Trail Guide," I streamline onboarding, accelerating new-hire productivity.
Docs & Data-Driven Culture: Architected a Jekyll documentation site (GitHub Pages) to scale knowledge and built a real-time performance dashboard (via GitHub APIs) to visualize metrics, fostering a data-driven culture.
Automated Quality Gates: Implemented automated quality gates integrated into all CI/CD pipelines, preventing failure propagation. This includes pre-commit hooks and code formatting to enforce consistent engineering standards.
