Selected work

Tools and frameworks I've built — each one solving a problem that manual effort couldn't scale past. Drawn the way they're designed: on paper, in lines and nodes, before a line of code.

Spec-driven development framework

A multi-agent workflow that takes software from requirements to tests, spec first.

PeerAI

A Jira quality-audit app.

FAST — Form Anomaly Search Tool

AI-assisted form and document validation.

Press-n-Go

Agentic browser automation from natural-language instructions.

JITANA

A performance-testing framework — JMeter, containers, Elasticsearch, Grafana, Jenkins.

ARI — Regression Intelligence

Regression intelligence drawn from production behaviour.

Experience

Senior Manager at Accenture, in Custom Application Engineering — QE transformation, test automation, and performance engineering for enterprise clients.

Earlier in my career: delivery and performance-engineering roles across North America and India.

275% automation ROI $1.5M licensing savings 0.02% defect leakage

Certified — AWS Cloud Practitioner · Azure AZ-900 · ISTQB Foundation · Power Platform PL-900 · AppDynamics Sales Engineer · Splunk Power User. Recognition — CQTA Practitioner of the Year 2026. Education — metallurgical engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.

Writing

AI × QE — the newsletter

Long-form editions on AI in quality engineering: new tooling, agentic workflows, and the evidence behind the claims. “Quality Accuracy.”

The weekly LinkedIn series

One idea at a time, argued in the open — what AI actually changes in testing, and where the hype breaks.

About

I'm a hands-on engineering leader: I can discuss an automation framework, investigate a delivery bottleneck, build a working prototype, and explain the investment to a client — in the same meeting.

Two decades across banking, payments, insurance, retail, and public-sector systems taught me one thing: quality holds when it's engineered in, not inspected in. These days that means applied AI — agents, spec-driven development, and evidence a planning meeting can rely on.

Home is Burlington, Ontario, where I live with my wife and our two boys. The work is important; it isn't the whole story.
