Building Intelligent Test Automation Since 2014
My journey started in 2014 with Selenium and Appium—writing brittle tests that broke with every UI change. Each pain point sparked an innovation: from local device labs to NLP-driven automation, and finally to Sparrow—where AI was always the inevitable destination.
The Evolution
From brittle locators to AI that understands intent
Optimus (2016)
The Device Lab Problem
Tired of flaky cloud devices, I built a local device lab framework. It worked—but scaling was painful. This taught me: infrastructure isn't the answer, intelligence is.
Dhi (2019)
The First AI Experiment
What if tests could understand screenshots? I used TensorFlow + NLP to identify elements visually. It was clunky—but it proved AI could eliminate locators.
Ekam (2020)
Unifying the Chaos
Web, API, Mobile—three different tools, three maintenance headaches. Ekam unified them into one low-code framework. But I knew this was still just a stepping stone.
GameFactory (2024)
The Breakthrough
4000 games, constantly changing. Traditional automation couldn't keep up. I integrated LLMs with the OODA loop—tests that understand context and self-heal. This became the foundation for Sparrow.
Sparrow (2025)
The Natural Evolution
Every framework, every experiment led here: a platform where you write tests in plain English, and AI handles everything else. No locators, no maintenance, no code. Just describe what you want to test.
The Journey
From Selenium scripts to self-healing AI—eleven years of solving test maintenance
Founding Imagineer
Building Sparrow & Imagineers—the culmination of 11 years solving test maintenance. Natural language testing is finally here.
Freelance Test Architect
GameFactory proved LLMs could handle real-world complexity at scale. The path to Sparrow became clear.
Head of Product
Built Lumos—LLM-powered tutors that made learning guilt-free. Engineers loved talking to AI. That's when it clicked: if LLMs can teach testing, they can do the testing.
Test Architect
Ekam unified frameworks. Dhi proved visual AI works. But every solution still required too much code.
SDET
Built Optimus for device labs. Learned infrastructure won't fix brittle tests—intelligence will.
Automation Engineer
Started with Selenium & Appium. Every test broke with UI changes. There had to be a better way.
My Approach
AI-First Thinking
Leveraging LLMs to eliminate fragility and enable natural language test authoring
Scale & Adaptability
Building systems that self-heal, learn from failures, and scale seamlessly
Democratize QA
Making test automation accessible to everyone, not just experts
Tech Arsenal
AI & LLMs
Full-Stack
Test Automation
Languages
Sparrow
Testing in Plain English. No Code. No Maintenance.
After a decade of building frameworks, I realized the answer wasn't better code—it was no code at all. Sparrow lets anyone write tests by simply describing what they want to test. The AI handles locators, waits, assertions, and healing automatically.
Battle-Tested Across Industries
From ride-sharing giants scaling to millions of users, to fintech securing transactions, to e-commerce handling complex catalogs—each challenge shaped the insights that built Sparrow
Ride-Sharing & Logistics
GoJek, Rapido, Minicabit
Built API security frameworks and gRPC systems to emulate driver-rider scenarios at scale. Every edge case taught me tests must adapt, not break.
Fintech & Digital Banking
PhonePe, Scripbox, Dkatalis, Rangde
From payment flows to neo-banking platforms—validated complex financial transactions where a single bug could cost millions. Learned that reliability isn't optional—automation must be smarter than humans.
E-Commerce & Retail
Target
Automated massive product catalogs and rapidly changing retail UIs. Traditional locators couldn't keep up—AI-driven approaches became essential.
