01.2023 - Current
  • AI Bug Detection Tool - Developed AI-enabled defect detection solution to identify software issues earlier in development/testing lifecycle, minimizing reliance on manual defect discovery and expediting issue resolution.
  • AI Auto Debugger - Developed end-to-end Agentic AI debugging workflow using MCP, AI agents, classification, RAG, repository analysis, and API integration to automate failure investigation, improving root-cause analysis and enhancing fix recommendations.
  • Repository-Aware Debugging - Integrated historical bug-memory search and RAG over C++ and test-script repositories to retrieve relevant code context and identify probable root cause, affected file, function, and line range.
  • AI-Assisted PR Automation - Developed an Agentic AI workflow where AI agents analyze debugging results and recommended fixes, invoke integrated development tools/APIs to create branches and prepare pull requests, and capture developer feedback for subsequent analysis and improvement.
  • Device Health & Test-Readiness Agent - Developed an Agentic AI workflow that orchestrates device-health checks, invokes device/engineering tools through APIs, analyzes device state, and automatically executes appropriate recovery actions using repository-based recovery techniques, followed by device validation and readiness assessment.
  • GenAI Knowledge Base Chatbot - Built project-grounded RAG chatbot using embeddings, vectorization, and LLM APIs to efficiently retrieve project-specific engineering knowledge, enhancing access to critical information.
  • Test Suite Optimization AI - Developed an AI/ML-based test optimization solution using historical script execution data and statistical analysis to identify high-value test combinations and reduce unnecessary test execution; contributed to a reported 70% reduction in manual testing effort.
  • Link Validation Automation – Developed a Python automation service that traverses configured domains, validates links, identifies broken/unhealthy links, and integrates results with issue/ticket workflows.
