Technical Director at Globant - Pune, India

Transforming Quality Engineering through AI, platform architecture, and enterprise strategy.

I lead Quality Engineering strategy across 17 concurrent enterprise programs, turning project-specific automation into reusable engineering platforms and evolving QE from script execution toward AI-enabled, agentic quality systems. My work combines architecture, engineering leadership, and delivery strategy so Building engineering systems that enable organizations—not just projects—to deliver software quality at scale

Current focus

Enterprise Quality Engineering Transformation - Helping organizations modernize Quality Engineering operating models through platform engineering, governance, AI adoption, and engineering capability development.

Where I create leverage

  • Transforming QE from a testing function into a platform capability.
  • Integrating AI into engineering workflows without losing governance or traceability.
  • Governing multi-program QE portfolios and aligning quality with delivery risk.

Public proof points behind the story

Selected highlights from enterprise Quality Engineering leadership, platform engineering, open-source contributions, and scalable automation initiatives.

20+ years in technology, including over a decade building enterprise QE organizations
50+ engineers aligned across multi-program QE portfolios
17 concurrent enterprise programs spanning regression, API, and UI layers
44 public GitHub repositories across frameworks, playbooks, and learning assets
3 published npm packages focused on CI feedback speed and flaky test intelligence

How I approach the role

At this level, the work isn't only about frameworks. It's about shaping the systems, standards, and teams that make quality sustainable at enterprise scale.

01

Architecture before automation volume

I design modular QE ecosystems with reusable frameworks, engineering standards, observability, and governance models that remain maintainable as organizations scale.

02

AI within engineered guardrails

I use AI where it improves engineering productivity, diagnostics, and delivery visibility while maintaining reliability, traceability, and engineering guardrails.

03

Operating model and executive alignment

I connect quality strategy to release confidence, business risk, and delivery timelines so QE becomes an enabler of velocity, not a reactive checkpoint.

04

Capability building with a teacher's mindset

I care deeply about uplift. My goal is to leave behind teams that think architecturally, own their systems, and no longer depend on heroic intervention.

05

AI-native Quality Engineering

I design agentic quality systems - a five-agent pipeline spanning exploration, analysis, design, execution, and failure investigation - so AI assists engineering decisions without replacing engineering judgment or governance.

Selected projects that show how I think

These projects are not side notes. They are practical expressions of how I design execution strategy, framework architecture, and quality platforms that teams can reuse.

Playbook GitHub

Quality Engineering Architecture Playbook

Solves the "every program reinvents QE strategy" problem by giving engineering leaders reusable architecture patterns and decision models for building QE systems that scale beyond a single project.

QE strategy Architecture Platform thinking
Reference framework GitHub

Playwright API Automation Architecture

Solves the drift between fast-moving APIs and brittle test suites, using contract validation and reusable architecture so enterprise teams get parallel execution without sacrificing reliability.

Playwright API testing Zod contracts
npm package v0.1.5

playwright-order-manager

Solves one of the biggest CI problems - slow feedback loops - by prioritizing critical tests and failing fast, so engineering teams get actionable feedback in minutes, not tens of minutes.

CI strategy Fail fast Execution order
npm package v1.0.0

playwright-flaky-tracker

Solves the trust problem flaky tests create by detecting, tracking, and classifying flakiness across runs, giving teams persistent history and evidence instead of guesswork.

Reliability Observability Reporter
Integration GitHub

playwright-teams-reporter

Solves the visibility gap between CI runs and the people who need to act on them, pushing execution summaries straight into Microsoft Teams via Adaptive Cards.

Reporting Teams Developer workflow
Reference adoption GitHub

pw-order-demo

Solves the "how do I actually adopt this" problem by showing ordered execution, fixtures, reports, and verification working together in a real Playwright + TypeScript setup.

What I'm building right now

Not achievements - direction. This is where the work is headed.

01

AI-native Quality Engineering platform

Designing an artifact-driven, multi-agent QE platform that combines application exploration, planning, test generation, execution, and autonomous failure investigation - moving QE from manual automation toward an intelligent engineering system.

02

Engineering leadership development

Structuring a director-level QE leadership program across four phases - leadership philosophy, QE strategy, execution, and scale - built from career-defining moments and principles, not theory.

03

Thought leadership

Writing about agentic AI in Quality Engineering, platform engineering, and the operating model shift from testing function to engineering platform.

How I think about modern Quality Engineering

The frameworks matter, but the philosophy matters more. These principles guide how I design systems, coach teams, and evaluate whether quality work is actually creating leverage.

Quality is a system property

Quality should be built into engineering systems, not added at the end.

Signal beats test count

Reliable insight is more valuable than large suites that teams no longer trust.

AI must earn its place

AI should improve engineering decisions, reduce cognitive load, and strengthen engineering capability - not replace engineering judgment.

Leadership should remove dependency

The goal is to build teams and platforms that work well without constant escalation.

Open to conversations about QE transformation, platform strategy, and AI-enabled automation.

I enjoy connecting with engineering leaders, architects, and teams working on automation modernization, QE transformation, developer productivity, and AI-enabled engineering workflows.
