About Gaurav

I help product and engineering teams ship with confidence — catching issues early, reducing release risk, and building test coverage that scales. With 10+ years across fintech, BFSI, mobile (iOS & Android), blockchain, and AI-powered products, I bring both hands-on manual testing depth and SDET-level automation expertise. I know when to test manually and when automation earns its cost — and I've delivered both at scale across S&P Global, fintech startups, healthcare apps, and Web3 platforms. Typical engagements include mobile app QA, API and backend testing, Playwright/Cypress framework setup, CI/CD integration, release regression, and LLM/AI output validation — a capability few QA engineers can offer. I engage early, work independently from PRDs, and treat quality as a shared responsibility with engineering — not a gate at the end.
