About Nareshkumar Reddy Gorla

Principal QA Architect and Staff SDET with 14+ years of experience building scalable, engineering-driven quality systems across enterprise and high-growth product environments.I specialize in transforming QA from a validation function into a continuous quality engineering discipline, deeply integrated with CI/CD pipelines, system architecture, and production reliability.Over the years, I’ve designed and scaled automation platforms across Web, Mobile, and API ecosystems, working on mission-critical systems in Fintech (Citibank, POS platforms), Defense (US DoD), and Healthcare (EHR systems). My work has consistently focused on improving release velocity, reducing defect leakage, and enabling high-confidence deployments at scale.Currently working with Persistent Systems as a QA Architect, where I lead enterprise quality transformation initiatives, architect automation platforms using Playwright and CI/CD, and mentor distributed engineering teams.I am also the Founder of NSIT AI Solutions Private Limited, where I’m building AURA — an AI-powered scriptless automation platform. AURA leverages GenAI and LLM workflows to convert natural language into executable test automation, enabling non-technical stakeholders to participate in quality engineering. This work reflects my focus on the future of testing: AI-driven, platform-oriented, and What I bring- Architecting end-to-end quality engineering platforms (UI, API, Mobile)- Designing CI/CD-integrated test systems with automated quality gates- Driving shift-left and shift-right testing practices across SDLC- Leading and scaling teams of 20+ engineers across global delivery models- Applying AI/GenAI to testing (test generation, RCA, defect intelligence)- Partnering with product and engineering leadership to improve system reliability and release Key impact- Reduced regression cycles by 40–60%- Achieved 85%+ automation coverage in critical systems- Delivered zero-defect releases in high-risk financial platforms- Improved defect analysis efficiency by ~70% using AI-driven insightsI’m open to Principal / Staff-level roles, including- QA Architect / Quality Engineering Leader- Staff SDET / Automation Architect- AI/GenAI Testing roles Open to Worldwide Remote & Relocation (Visa Sponsorship)Always interested in conversations around:AI in Testing • Test Architecture • CI/CD • Quality Engineering at Scale
