About
I'm an SDET who started out writing test cases and ended up building the systems that run them. Over 5+ years I've gone from payments QA at Mastercard to owning cross-platform automation at LiveSwitch, to now building an automation suite from scratch for a healthcare platform at Triomics — a domain where a flaky test isn't just an inconvenience, it's a risk you can't ship with.
What I actually do day to day is closer to software engineering than most people picture when they hear "QA": I design framework architecture (Page Object Model, reusable API clients, CI pipelines), make build-vs-buy calls on tooling, and increasingly, decide where AI coding agents genuinely help — first-draft test scaffolding, debugging flaky failures — versus where they don't: test strategy and deciding what actually needs coverage still has to be a human call.
Accessibility is the other half of what I do. I audit against WCAG 2.1 AA professionally, and I built this site to the same bar I hold production software to — semantic markup, full keyboard navigation, verified contrast, and a written accessibility statement instead of a footnote claim.
Outside of client work, I tinker with infrastructure — Redis, Sentry, and small cloud projects — mostly as an excuse to work at a layer I don't always get to touch in QA roles.
The Journey So Far

Started at NIT Warangal
B.Tech, graduated 2021 with an 8.69 CGPA.
2021
Joined Mastercard Data & Services
Built 1000+ automated tests and hit 95%+ coverage on a commercial payments platform.
2024
Joined LiveSwitch
Owned cross-platform UI/API automation, cut regression execution time by ~40%.
2026
Joined Triomics Healthcare
Building the automation suite from scratch for an oncology clinical-trial matching platform.
How I Think About Quality
Quality is architecture, not a checklist
A test suite is a piece of software. Page objects, reusable API clients, and CI wiring are design decisions, not busywork — treating them that way is what keeps a suite alive past the first few sprints.
Accessibility is a constraint, not an audit
WCAG compliance works when it's designed in from the first component, not checked for after launch. I hold my own work — including this site — to the same bar I audit other software against.
AI is a tool with judgment attached
AI-assisted coding is genuinely useful for first-draft scaffolding and debugging flaky failures fast. Deciding what actually needs test coverage stays a human, strategic call — that part doesn't get automated away.
