Technical Director at Globant - Pune, India

Leading AI delivery, and agentic architecture strategy across enterprise Quality Engineering.

I specialize in leading AI delivery, data engineering, and architecture strategy across Quality Engineering - driving enterprise-scale AI initiatives from RAG development to multi-agent automation frameworks, while leading strategic architecture and governance discussions for AI use-case productionization, compliance alignment, operational readiness, and responsible AI adoption. I combine this with QE strategy across 17 concurrent enterprise projects, turning project-specific automation into reusable engineering platforms so organizations - not just projects — deliver quality and AI capability at scale.

Current focus

AI Delivery & QE Transformation - Helping organizations productionize enterprise AI use cases and modernize Quality Engineering operating models through platform engineering, MLOps governance, and engineering capability development.

Where I create leverage

  • Driving enterprise AI delivery - anomaly detection, LLM-powered search, multi-agent automation.
  • Leading AI architecture and governance for productionization, compliance, and responsible adoption.
  • Transforming QE from a testing function into a platform capability.
  • Governing multi-program QE portfolios and aligning quality with delivery risk.

Public proof points behind the story

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

20+ years in technology, including over a decade building enterprise QE and AI-enabled organizations
50+ engineers aligned across multi-program QE and AI 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 or models. It's about shaping the systems, governance, and teams that make AI-enabled quality sustainable at enterprise scale.

01

AI architecture and governance by design

I lead architecture and governance discussions for AI use-case productionization - covering Agentic AI strategy, compliance alignment, operational readiness, and responsible AI adoption - so AI initiatives are built to run in production, not just in a demo.

02

Architecture before automation volume

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

03

AI within engineered guardrails

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

04

Operating model and executive alignment

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

05

Capability building with a teacher's mindset

I mentor individuals 1:1, lead AI upskilling programs, and deliver hands-on workshops. My goal is to leave behind teams that think architecturally, own their systems, and build AI maturity without depending on heroic intervention.

06

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

Enterprise AI productionization

Leading architecture and governance for enterprise AI use cases - anomaly detection, LLM-powered enterprise search, multi-agent automation - defining MLOps strategy and governance practices that keep AI deployments compliant, auditable, and operationally ready.

02

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.

03

AI upskilling and mentorship

Building organizational AI maturity through 1:1 mentoring, structured upskilling programs, and hands-on workshops in generative and agentic AI.

04

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.

05

Thought leadership

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

How I think about AI-enabled Quality Engineering

The frameworks and models matter, but the philosophy matters more. These principles guide how I design systems, coach teams, and evaluate whether AI and 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.

Governance is what makes AI production-ready

Compliance alignment, operational readiness, and responsible adoption aren't add-ons - they're what separates a pilot from a production AI system.

Leadership should remove dependency

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

Open to conversations about AI delivery, QE transformation, and platform strategy.

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