"Breaking software to make it unbreakable, automating everything to innovate faster."
I'm a Lead QA Engineer with ~11 years of experience transforming how teams approach quality. My journey spans from the malware research trenches at Quick Heal to architecting agentic AI test platforms at PowerSchool β where I own QA strategy for Schoology with zero P0 incidents over 4+ years.
π₯ What makes me different?
- π€ Agentic QA Pioneer - Built a multi-agent test platform (GitHub Copilot Background Agents + Playwright / Browser / Jira MCPs) that cut manual QA effort by 80%
- π§ AI Context Graph Architect - Anchors LLM agents to live OpenAPI contracts β 90%+ first-pass test accuracy, zero hallucinated steps
- ποΈ Framework Builder - Shipped 4+ automation frameworks (Playwright, WebdriverIO, Codeception, Robot)
- π‘οΈ DevSecOps in CI/CD - OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, SAST/DAST & dependency gates across Bamboo, GitLab & GitHub Actions
- π Security DNA - 3 years of malware research & vulnerability testing (Quick Heal + FireEye / Mandiant)
- βοΈπ Side Explorer - Blockchain carbon credits (Solidity / Web3) and quant trading (SMC / ICT)
