Work History

Lead Consultant - Quality

Thoughtworks
06.2018 - Current

At Thoughtworks, I led the end-to-end quality engineering and release management for a high-scale, white-labeled mobile and web solution. I architected a comprehensive test strategy and QA plan that spanned iOS, Android, and MWeb, ensuring a consistent less than 1% crash rate across all client iterations. By co developing and open-sourcing a private device farm using AppiumTestDistribution (ATD) and streamlining regression activities, I reduced the go-to-prod cycle to under 24 hours. In a subsequent engagement for a major consulting firm, I spearheaded the QA planning for a large-scale ETL application, implementing a multi-layered testing pyramid. My leadership in technical refactoring and release governance not only ensured zero-defect cycles but also optimized ETL execution time from 8 hours to 1.5 hours.

Senior Test Engineer

Rakuten India
06.2016 - 06.2018

Joining Rakuten as a senior member, I was quickly elevated to lead the end-to-end testing and team management for a Global Affiliate Platform. I architected the comprehensive test planning and strategy for the platform’s core affiliate engine, utilizing Hive for large-scale data validation alongside rigorous Web and API testing. By managing the full testing lifecycle and coordinating team efforts, I ensured the reliability of high-traffic affiliate tracking and payout systems, successfully bridging the gap between complex backend data processing and consumer-facing interfaces.

Consultant - P3

Capgemini India
12.2014 - 06.2016

At Flipkart, I was a key contributor within the Seller Marketplace Listing team, driving the quality assurance for critical products that powered marketplace operations. I quickly established myself as a trusted technical resource, earning team confidence to lead the delivery of high-impact product features. Beyond functional delivery, I took ownership of the automation suite, stabilizing and refactoring the end-to-end testing framework by resolving long-standing issues within the Protractor-based codebase. My efforts ensured the reliability of the seller onboarding and listing journey, directly supporting the platform’s large-scale marketplace growth.

Junior Software Engineer

Atlas Systems Pvt Ltd
08.2011 - 12.2014

I began my professional journey at Atlas Systems as a Junior Software Engineer, where I demonstrated exceptional adaptability by operating across diverse domains including PHP development, Quality Assurance, and Database Administration (DBA). This multidisciplinary exposure allowed me to master a broad technology stack and pivot quickly based on organizational needs. A highlight of my tenure was architecting and building a custom automation testing framework from the ground up for a premier US-based Ad-tech platform. This framework served as the backbone for the quality assurance of their high-traffic desktop application, marking my first major success in delivering scalable automation solutions.
