Work Experience
Manager, Systems Automation
Insulet Corporation
- Lead a team of SDETs building automated verification frameworks for medical device system-level Design Verification.
- Develop, validate, and release automated test frameworks leveraging industry best practices for FDA/ISO/IEC regulated products.
- Drive continuous optimization of test processes, coverage, and efficiency using risk-based analysis and statistical methods.
- Oversee CI/CD integration for verification pipelines across multiple concurrent product initiatives.
- Lead hiring, staffing, and team development decisions; conduct evaluations and mentoring.
Lead Test Engineer
Johnson & Johnson — Digital Surgery Platform (DSP)
- Restructured the complete test framework architecture across all DSP teams — transformed Robot Framework and pytest setups from zero reliability to single-click execution with full Jenkins CI integration, enabling unified test runs and reporting platform-wide.
- Created and owned the E2E performance testing framework for DSP file pipeline — realistic workload simulation, high-scale parallel concurrency, adaptive DB-primary polling with API fallback. Scaled from 30 to 75,000+ concurrent devices with per-stage latency distributions and automated HTML/Excel reporting.
- Developed pipeline qualification script for Jenkins CI — automated pass/fail validation with entry/exit criteria, UI and API test execution per release, enabling TQ teams to rely on pipeline reports with full traceability.
- Redesigned the Data Platform test framework using pytest, adopted across all teams as the standard for data pipeline validation and quality gates.
- Built automated daily report generation and distribution system with auto-trigger scheduling, delivering test execution reports to stakeholders at defined intervals.
- Architected the AI Bug Analyser system — integrated with CI pipelines and Jira, designed as a hooks-based architecture stashed within each team's repo, executing with minimal per-team changes.
- Increased test coverage from ~40% to 85%+ through negative testing, risk-based strategies, and 150+ automated regression scenarios. Managed six testing teams (30+ engineers) across all releases.
- Modernized CI/CD pipelines for IoMT Embedded Device Agent SDK (C SDK): designed marker-based smart test execution across 224 BDD feature files and 64 test suites. Reduced pipeline configuration by 87%.
- Drove shift-left testing and quality gate enforcement in CI pipelines; authored test strategy documents for every major release, presented to VP/Senior Director stakeholders.
- Mentored 30+ engineers on automation best practices, framework adoption, and AI tools; established onboarding standards for new QE team members across DSP.
- Led DB migration testing (Cosmos DB to MySQL), contributing to ~$500K in annual cost savings.
Senior Test Engineer
L&T Technology Services (LTTS) — Client: Baxter
- Delivered E2E testing for Baxter Peritoneal Dialysis devices and New Product Development device under GDP guidelines.
- Designed 500+ test cases (BVA, equivalence partitioning, decision tables) and built Python + Selenium + BDD automation for 80+ critical scenarios.
- Authored ISO 13485-aligned verification artifacts and led ARB quality reviews; accelerated root cause analysis by 40% using Fishbone methods.
Test Engineer
Fresenius Medical Care
- Executed system integration and regression testing for hemodialysis software (Class II medical device, IEC 62304).
- Developed 200+ test cases for patient monitoring systems; automated workflows using Python, saving 15+ hours/sprint.
- Validated firmware updates on target hardware with zero field-reported critical defects.
Biomedical Engineer
Vijaya Hospital & Apollo Hospitals
- Managed calibration and preventive maintenance of 50+ biomedical devices (ventilators, monitors, infusion pumps). Implemented equipment tracking that reduced downtime by 20%.
- Supported critical-care equipment commissioning and contributed to NABH accreditation quality audits.
