About
I build scalable test architecture — and teach machines to help write it.

I'm a Senior Quality Engineer (SDET) currently at Pepper Square in Bengaluru, leading QA across 10+ client projects. My focus is end-to-end testing — functional, regression, integration, and API — with Cypress, Playwright, and TypeScript.

I pioneered an AI-assisted QA workflow using Cursor AI, Figma MCP, and Playwright MCP that compares design specs against live builds to auto-generate test plans, cases, and scripts — and built a Slack automation with OpenAI Codex that posts the team's daily status, removing a recurring manual task.

Beyond the framework, I care about release confidence, CI/CD integration, and mentoring QA teams toward automation best practices.
