“Architecting scalable, resilient test systems that think, adapt, and accelerate delivery.”
I am a Senior SDET and Test Automation Architect with 10+ years of quality engineering experience architecting enterprise-grade test automation ecosystems across web, REST API, fintech, and cloud-native applications (Tata Consultancy Services, OvalEdge, BondbloX, HP Inc.).
My engineering philosophy blends production-scale automation design (Playwright, Selenium, WebdriverIO, TypeScript, Python, Java) with modern DevOps pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker) and applied Machine Learning to build self-healing, high-efficiency quality gates.
- 🎓 Education: Pursuing MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (Liverpool John Moores University) & Executive PG in Machine Learning and AI (IIIT Bangalore).
- 📜 Certifications: ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level | Selenium WebDriver Certified.
- 💡 Specialization: Enterprise Test Architecture, Zero-Flakiness Testing, Shift-Left API Validation, AI-Assisted Test Generation, and Performance Engineering.

Production-grade E2E UI & API Test Automation Framework built in TypeScript + Playwright + Docker.
- Architecture: Strict Page Object Model (POM) encapsulation, Builder Pattern for fluent API request assembly (
BookingBuilder), and Factory Pattern for typed dynamic data generation (TestDataFactory). - Capabilities: Dual-tier testing with UI automation on SauceDemo, API contract & CRUD validation on Restful-Booker via Playwright
APIRequestContext, and visual regression checks. - CI/CD & Observability: Integrated with containerized Docker runners and automated GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows, with Web Vitals performance metric collection.
Next-generation test automation platform combining Playwright with OpenAI & ZeroStep AI.
- Autonomous Validation: Translates plain-English business scenarios directly into browser interactions without brittle CSS/XPath dependencies.
- Self-Healing Automation: Dynamically discovers application elements using semantic AI completions, dramatically reducing test maintenance in rapid-release Agile cycles.
- AI-Generated Test Payloads: Generates intelligent boundary conditions and edge-case test datasets at runtime via LLM prompts.
Hybrid Web UI and REST API automation framework engineered with Python, Playwright, and Pytest.
- Zero-Flakiness Design: Pure reliance on event-loop auto-waiting and web-first assertions, eliminating arbitrary sleep pauses.
- Contract & API Layer: Shift-left API validation with JSON Schema verification, bearer token session management, and CRUD lifecycle suites.
- Enterprise Triage: Automated capture of full-page failure screenshots, execution trace archives (
.zip), video recordings, and unified Allure/HTML reports.
Deep learning assistive technology capstone project developed at IIIT Bangalore.
- Neural Architecture: Combines CNN-based visual feature extraction with an Attention Mechanism (Bahdanau Attention) to generate descriptive textual descriptions from images.
- Accessibility: Couples natural language caption generation with speech synthesis on the Flickr8k dataset to assist visually impaired individuals.
Behavior-Driven Development test automation harness for enterprise Java ecosystems.
- Implements Cucumber BDD, Spring Boot test harnesses, and TestNG for seamless microservice integration and regression test suites.
I am open to discussing Senior SDET, Test Automation Architect, and Quality Engineering Leadership opportunities where I can design resilient automation systems, mentor QA talent, and leverage AI to drive velocity and release confidence.
