Testing beyond the happy path.

Who I Am

Lead SDET with 13+ years building automation ecosystems from scratch. Acting QA Manager at Sprout Solutions leading 11 SDETs + 11 QA engineers across the entire product org.

What Sets Me Apart

I architect Agentic QA frameworks — Claude AI agents + MCP that read live Jira tickets, generate test cases, and execute them via Playwright autonomously without human intervention.

My Domain

Deep expertise in HR & Payroll systems: complex computation validation, multi-module regression, attendance engine logic, and API-driven data integrity across tightly-coupled business rules.

Leadership Style

I champion automation-first culture — from no-code tools for non-technical QA (cutting dev time 40%) to representing QA strategy in L10 executive meetings and SAFe PI Planning.
