The Journey So Far

Started my career as Jr. Engineer V&V in 2000 and mostly into test automation related jobs, worked myself out to create a truly script free automation tool for testers, called Verifaya Studio.

Most Important Lessons

Things seems to be hard initially, but don't give up. Try to finish things by yourself, don't depend on others, you will get to learn more. Learn, Experiment & Implement!

Changes in the industry

When I started most projects followed waterfall, now it's all agile! and I am loving it!

Role Model

Steve Jobs, Apple is a number one company, it's not because of his vision, it's all because of his passion and he was there from design till the product got into apple store.

Most Important Decisions

Resigning from a top 3 company and decision to Start Verifaya (previously called TestingCzars). Decision to build our own product instead of building fraameworks for other automation tools.
