About Me

Quality Champion & Team Builder

Dedicated and results-driven Software Team Lead with ~8+ years of experience in Quality Assurance. Known for strong QA leadership and team management, I excel in cross-team coordination, stakeholder communication, and establishing robust quality processes.

Hands-on expertise in test automation, API testing, and modern quality engineering practices — and I actively leverage AI-driven tools to enhance testing efficiency and accelerate delivery cycles.

Committed to delivering high-quality software within defined timelines while driving continuous improvement — especially in healthcare and EHR domains where HIPAA compliance and audit readiness are non-negotiable.

Future of Testing

AI-Augmented Quality Engineering

Pioneering the shift from traditional QA to intelligent, self-healing, LLM-powered testing pipelines — the frontier of quality engineering in 2025 & beyond.

🧠
My AI-First QA Philosophy
I don't just use AI tools — I lead their adoption. From integrating AI-based test prioritization frameworks that cut regression cycles, to deploying self-healing automation that survives UI changes, to using LLMs for intelligent test-case generation from user stories and PRDs. My teams ship faster, catch bugs earlier, and spend less time maintaining brittle scripts — because AI handles the repetitive work so engineers focus on what matters.
