This portfolio showcases my experiences, methods, and outcomes in delivering quality products.
I’m driven by a deep desire to improve not just software, but the people and processes behind it. My focus is on delivering high-quality, reliable applications that make users’ lives easier and more productive. I believe in building test strategies and infrastructure that empower teams to move faster, with confidence, ultimately delivering real value to both the business and the end user.
I’m a software engineer who brings clarity and efficiency to complex projects through thoughtful test automation, performance validation, and CI/CD integration. I thrive in cross-functional Agile teams, where collaboration, communication, and shared ownership drive successful outcomes. My technical work is rooted in empathy — for users, for fellow engineers, and for the systems we build.
Testing isn’t just a safety net — it’s a strategic enabler.I design scalable automation frameworks and optimize testing approaches that align with business goals and development velocity. By deeply understanding product workflows and user needs, I help shape testing as a continuous feedback mechanism that supports smarter decisions and faster, safer releases.
Leadership is about influence and impact, not titles. I lead by example — through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and fostering a culture of quality. Whether I’m introducing better testing practices or helping teams adopt new tools, I focus on elevating others and creating environments where excellence is the norm and innovation can thrive.

Read through my resume journey instead
I spearheaded automation initiatives that significantly improved test coverage, increasing Chromebook device automation from 0% to 80% for the 2018 Beta release. I devised a comprehensive test plan and implemented a page comparison testing methodology for a large-scale rebranding project, ensuring consistent quality and branding alignment across platforms. Additionally, I maintained, debugged, and optimized the base Java library and Java API/UI automation code, enhancing performance and reliability. My contributions not only streamlined testing processes but also played a key role in delivering high-quality software to end users.
Through a combination of manual and automation testing, I led efforts that detected and resolved over 100 defects, significantly enhancing product reliability. I drove defect triage meetings during complex projects, ensuring clear communication and swift issue resolution, while also managing relationships with Noida QA vendors to streamline the execution of testing tasks. Additionally, I mentored eight junior engineers, providing guidance on best practices and fostering a supportive environment that promoted professional growth and team success. My dedication to quality, collaboration, and leadership contributed to the success of both the team and the company.
I played a pivotal role in enhancing the quality and reliability of software releases. I designed and implemented nine comprehensive test automation plans during expedited releases and hotfixes, effectively mitigating critical defect slippage. In addition, I managed and trained over eight engineering team members in load performance and automation tools, significantly reducing dependency on a single resource and fostering a more collaborative and skilled team environment. By coordinating with engineering leaders, I successfully scoped and tracked performance and QA program deliverables at an epic level. My bi-weekly project reports, which highlighted key metrics, ensured alignment and transparency, resulting in a 95% deliverable completion rate. My efforts contributed to both the operational efficiency and the overall success of the team.
Grad school helped me to push my career forward with skills in leadership: data-driven decision-making, business insight, and emotional intelligence. Understanding how business strategy and decisions impact the success of a company and enhance your personal and professional development as an engineering leader. Gain interpersonal, communication, and conflict resolution skills as you discover your own personal leadership style and purpose.
I take pride in driving meaningful improvements to team productivity and product quality. By facilitating Scrum ceremonies and sprint planning, I streamlined workflows and reduced customer issue resolution times, boosting team productivity by 20% and eliminating major deliverybottlenecks. I successfully integrated automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, which significantly improved build and deployment efficiency. Managing multiple testing projects simultaneously, I ensured all were delivered on schedule while maintaining highquality. Additionally, I led cross-functional teams in analyzing, debugging, and resolving over 144+ issues across databases, performance, and other critical areas, enhancing system reliability and customer satisfaction. My ability to optimize processes, collaborate effectively, and deliver results made a lasting impact at UKG.
Developing a secure, AI-driven (gov & legal) service platform to streamline document processing, compliance checks, and user guidance. Designed and implemented scalable automation frameworks using TypeScript and Cypress, improving test coverage by 85%. Leading agile planning and governance practices, aligning product development with business objectives. Spearheaded the integration of SQL database validation within test automation, enhancing data integrity testing.
