Senior SDET & DevOps Engineer · Delhi, India
I build the systems that catch bugs before your users do.
SDET and DevOps engineer with 5+ years across AI platforms, civic-data infrastructure, and digital banking. Currently the sole quality engineer at CivicDataLab, owning automation, CI/CD, and release QA across three production platforms under the IndiaAI Mission and beyond.
I treat QA as engineering — self-healing test suites, cross-repo CI triggers, multi-layer coverage, and AI-assisted test generation using Claude Code, Codex, and Playwright MCP.

| ParakhAI | IndiaAI Mission algorithmic-auditing framework | 5-layer Playwright + pytest framework (E2E, accessibility, visual, API, performance) |
| IDS-DRR | Multi-state disaster-risk analytics | Self-healing Selenium suite, cross-repo GitHub Actions trigger |
| CivicDataSpace | Open civic-data exchange | Selenium POM framework, auto-generated JSON/MD/PDF reports with screenshots |
