rajiv@portfolio:~$ cat about.txt

I'm a QA leader and automation architect with 14+ years of experience — and I've spent the last two years going deep on AI/ML integration. I don't just test software; I build AI-powered tools that transform how quality engineering works.

I build with Claude API, Claude Vision, structured output, prompt engineering, and agentic workflows. Professionally, I've applied AI to automate test generation, build intelligent validation frameworks, and create QA tooling that uses LLMs to analyze requirements and catch gaps before code ships. On the side, I've shipped a desktop app that scores job postings against resumes using Claude, a news reader with AI fact-checking and deepfake video detection, and an AI Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns. These aren't experiments — they're full-stack, production applications.

My career spans life sciences, fintech (crypto exchange platforms), and enterprise security (encryption products). I've scaled QA organizations, built automation frameworks from scratch, and led teams at companies like Wellfield Technologies, Connected, and WinMagic.

I'm looking for roles where I can combine my deep QA expertise with hands-on AI engineering — whether that's building AI-powered testing infrastructure, developing LLM-based developer tools, or leading quality for AI/ML products. I ship fast, I automate everything, and I bring the rare combination of knowing both how to build AI systems and how to ensure they work reliably.
