About

I'm a Senior SDET based in Pune, India, specializing in quality engineering, automation architecture, and DevOps integration. I bridge technical execution with business strategy to embed modern QA intelligence into CI/CD workflows.

From mentoring junior engineers to eliminating systemic latency in high-traffic systems, I focus on measurable outcomes — cutting regression cycles, reducing production bugs, and shipping confidently.
