About Me
I'm a passionate technologist and leader in the software testing and automation space. As Director of Engineering at LambdaTest, I drive innovation in cloud-based testing platforms that serve millions of developers worldwide, enabling seamless cross-browser and mobile testing.
My journey in open source began with contributing to Appium, where I became a core maintainer and helped architect Appium 2.0. I've created multiple plugins including Device Farm, Wait Plugin, and Gestures Plugin that are used by thousands of developers globally. Recently, I've pioneered Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for mobile automation, bridging AI and testing workflows.
As an international speaker, I've presented at 25+ conferences including SeleniumConf, AppiumConf, QuestForQuality, SLASSCOM, Belgrade Test Conference, AutomationGuild, FOSDEM, TestΞΌConf, Nordic Testing Days, and Agile India, sharing insights on mobile automation, clean code practices, and the future of testing.
I'm passionate about ethical testing practices, reducing unconscious bias in testing processes, and mentoring the next generation of engineers. My work spans from container-based testing to Kubernetes manifest validation.
