I’m a seasoned Software Quality Engineer with over 15 years of experience ensuring top-notch performance for cloud-based applications in healthcare (medical devices) and enterprise IT asset management. From improving automation frameworks to slashing defect backlogs by 35% and optimizing CI/CD pipelines at companies like Becton Dickinson (BD), Harman India, and CSS Corp, I’ve thrived on solving complex challenges across the SDLC. My toolkit, Python, Selenium, Jenkins, and a knack for root-cause analysis that’s earned me awards like BD’s Employee Spotlight (2023) and CSS Corp’s Star Performer (2009). Now, I’m channeling that expertise into a new passion: AI/ML and NLP development. I’ve built hands-on projects like a Text2SQL (Ollama, duckdb-nsql) that turns natural language into SQL queries, and a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system (Ollama, nomic-embed-text, ChromaDB, LLama 3.2/DeepSeek R1) to power smarter, context-aware responses. These prototypes blend my testing rigor with cutting-edge tech, and I’m excited to transition into a AI/ML automation role where I can keep pushing boundaries. I’m all about collaboration—whether mentoring teams, syncing with global engineers (US, Mexico, India, Egypt), or partnering with DevOps in Agile sprints. With a Masters in Computer Application (MCA) from VIT and an ISTQB certification, I’m driven by continuous learning and delivering value. Check out my projects on GitHub: https://github.com/sumsharm
