Hi, I'm Ashutosh Singh 👋

👋 About

I help engineering teams stop shipping broken software without slowing down releases.

For ~15 years I've built test automation frameworks, hunted flaky tests, and wired QA into CI/CD pipelines so bugs die in PRs — not in production. Now moving into consulting and test architecture for startups and scale-ups that can't afford a full QA team but can't afford to skip quality either.

What that means in practice:

• 🏗️   Test frameworks that juniors can extend and seniors respect
• 🔬   Flaky-test reduction so CI tells you something useful
• 🚀   Pipeline integration — feedback in < 10 min, not overnight
• 📐   System-level thinking: locators, waits, retries, parallelism, observability
