About Me

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_title title=”Who Am I?” title_align=”text-left” title_tag=”big_head”][vc_column_text] I am a student of testing and intelligence. I am a consulting software tester, author, speaker, coach and a serial entrepreneur, with 22+ years of experiments, currently operating from Berlin.

My consulting uniqueness lies in my experience-mix: Hands-on knowledge on business and technical sides of Quality from its various dimensions, with a knack for programming and design.

I have presented, conducted workshops and published articles on a wide range of subjects related to Quality in various conferences and forums, internationally.

As a coach I have trained hundreds of professionals on Quality from a pluralistic standpoint.

This website contains my thoughts, presentations and videos in the areas of software testing, test automation frameworks, agile testing, web security, Python and web performance testing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_color=”#fcfcfc”][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/12″][vc_title title=”My Companies and Platforms” title_align=”text-center” title_tag=”title_h3″][vc_position][vc_position_single pos_title=”Director and Chief Consultant” pos_start=”2012″ pos_end=”Present” pos_loc=”Test Mile Software Testing Pvt Ltd”][vc_position_single pos_loc=”Talent Reboot” pos_title=”Proprietor and Principal” pos_start=”2012″ pos_end=”2018″][vc_position_single pos_loc=”Testing Perspective” pos_title=”Owner and Author” pos_start=”2007″ pos_end=”2015″][/vc_position][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/12″][vc_title title=”Employment History” title_align=”text-center” title_tag=”title_h3″][vc_position][vc_position_single pos_start=”2020″ pos_end=”Present” pos_title=”Head of Test Automation Department” pos_loc=”trendig technology services GmbH”][vc_position_single pos_start=”2007″ pos_end=”2012″ pos_title=”QA Architect” pos_loc=”AVERT Lab, McAfee India”][vc_position_single pos_loc=”PCSU, AppLabs Technologies” pos_title=”Performance Testing Lead” pos_start=”2005″ pos_end=”2007″][vc_position_single pos_loc=”Statefarm ODC, Satyam Computers” pos_title=”Software Engineer” pos_start=”2003″ pos_end=”2005″][vc_position_single pos_loc=”DCM Engineering” pos_title=”Senior Executive” pos_start=”2002″ pos_end=”2003″][/vc_position][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_color=”#f7f7f7″][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_title title=”Awards and Achievements” title_align=”text-center” title_tag=”title_h2″][vc_award]
