01 — About

Quality is not
an accident

I'm a Senior QA Automation Engineer based in Kolkata, India, currently at Cognizant Technology Solutions. Over 5 years, I've specialised in the retail domain — designing frameworks that are not just functional, but genuinely scalable.

"I believe the best QA engineers are architects — building systems that let developers ship with confidence."

My approach blends rigorous test automation with a deep understanding of business impact. From orchestrating regression strategies that surfaced 200+ critical issues to leading a full Playwright migration — I work where engineering meets quality culture.

I mentor junior QAs, drive Agile delivery, and obsess over cloud-native testing on GCP. Beyond automation, I'm a firm believer that good QA is good communication.
