About

What started as curiosity — understanding how systems work and why they sometimes fail — gradually grew into a passion for building reliable, high-quality software. Early on I was driven by the challenge of finding issues; over time that mindset transformed into creating solutions that prevent them.

Over 10+ years I've grown from learning the fundamentals of testing to defining quality strategies across complex, enterprise-scale systems — working across healthcare, banking, insurance, and manufacturing, with hands-on experience in web, API, and cloud applications.

I kept pushing myself to evolve — from writing manual test cases to building scalable automation frameworks, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring consistent, reliable coverage. Each project sharpened how I think, adapt, and deliver real value to the product and the team.

Today, as a QA Lead, my role goes beyond testing. I mentor teams, drive best practices, improve processes, and align quality with business goals — collaborating across functions, solving complex problems, and building systems teams can trust with confidence.

For me, testing isn't just about finding defects — it's about building confidence, ensuring reliability, and contributing to products that create meaningful impact. Quality isn't a phase; it's a mindset that drives everything I do.

Quality isn't a phase. It's a mindset.

Experience

A decade of deliberate growth - from System Engineer Trainee to QA Lead - across Infosys and UST. What began as manual testing evolved into architecting scalable automation frameworks, embedding quality into CI/CD pipelines, and mentoring teams to ship reliable software across healthcare, banking, insurance, and manufacturing.

  • Adaptive Antenna Selection in MIMO System

    IEEE ·

    This paper has proposed an adaptive antenna selection technique in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system that optimizes the system energy efficiency to achieve maximum throughput. Though throughput increases with the dimension of MIMO system, the energy consumed per RF module is a major concern. The antenna selection technique exploits the channel state information (CSI) at transmitting end to reduce the number of RF module to achieve maximum benefit out of MIMO system. However, simultaneously achievement of best throughput and energy efficiency, with fixed number of transmitted antennas, is not possible. In this paper, the number of transmitting antenna to be selected is varied as per channel condition. The proposed technique aims to maximize the instantaneous throughput with optimum energy efficiency.
