I am Test Automation Manager with 15 years delivering automation strategy, framework design, and GenAI validation strategies across insurance, healthcare, and media domains. Experienced in shortening regression cycles, integrating CI/CD pipelines, creating feedback loops for automated executions, and leading cross-functional teams to ship higher-quality releases faster.

Quick facts 🔝
- 🎯 15 years delivering measurable quality improvements across insurance, healthcare, and media
- 👥 Built and led cross-functional automation teams (onshore/offshore) to deliver continuous testing at scale
- ⏱️ Cut regression cycles by up to 75% through strategic test selection and API-first automation
- ⚙️ Increased automation throughput ~30% by introducing modular frameworks, parallel execution, and reusable test assets
- 🚀 Rapid in‑sprint automation delivery — designed frameworks and templates to ship tests alongside features
- 📊 Data-driven QA: implemented dashboards and metrics (relevance, precision, recall) to track test quality
- 🔁 Shift-left advocate: integrated tests early in the lifecycle to find defects sooner and reduce rework
- 🛠️ Reliability-first: introduced self-healing patterns and flakiness reduction practices to stabilize pipelines
- 🤝 Cross-functional collaborator: partnered with product, infra, and data teams to align test strategy with business goals
- 📚 Mentorship & enablement: ran team training and code reviews to raise automation maturity and coding standards
Tech badges 🔝
Selected achievements & impact 🔝
- Designed and executed test strategies for RAG-based GenAI models, building validation frameworks with Microsoft Semantic Kernel and measuring responses with precision/recall and cosine similarity.
- Automated prompt testing and monitoring to reduce manual effort by ~50% and improve early defect detection in GenAI outputs.
- Reduced regression cycle time by 75% in one program by shifting E2E UI tests to API-level tests using Rest Assured.
- Standardized CI/CD test execution via YAML templates and pipeline integrations, improving cross-environment test flexibility.
- Built a Playwright + Gauge BDD automation framework that standardized in-sprint test design and execution. The framework reduced test development overhead, improved maintainability, and achieved over 50% execution time savings through targeted parallelization, optimized orchestration, and converting long-running UI flows to faster API-level validations where appropriate.
Professional experience 🔝
LTIMindTree Senior Specialist - Quality Engineering (Present)
- Lead a team of 5 automation engineers to develop a hybrid Playwright + Gauge framework using C# and enterprise automation libraries.
- Designed validation frameworks for GenAI (RAG) models; created synthetic datasets, prompt variations, and CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation.
- Implemented metrics and dashboards to track model hallucination, relevance, precision, and recall; documented failure cases to guide retraining.
Willis Towers Watson Lead Associate
- Adopted and drove Cypress-based automation, reducing manual testing by ~60% for feature regression.
- Performed API functional testing using Postman and Cypress; maintained E2E tests in Selenium integrated with BrowserStack.
LTI Quality Engineer – Test Lead
