About Parag Kamble

I’m a hands-on engineer specializing in OpenShift, cloud-native storage, and distributed systems, with a strong focus on platform resiliency and chaos testing. I design and execute end-to-end resiliency test strategies for OpenShift and storage stacks, leveraging the krkn (Kraken) chaos engineering tool to validate fault tolerance, recovery paths, and SLO adherence under real-world failure modes.Skilled in building scalable automation frameworks (pytest) and robust tooling in Python & Golang, with a focus on CI/CD-friendly pipelines that accelerate feedback and improve release quality. Experienced in designing scenarios for node/network failures, storage failovers, workload spikes, and client-side anomalies—delivering actionable insights for engineering and product teamsI’m also an AI enthusiast, continuously developing innovative solutions to transform the QE process. This includes building AI agents for test anomaly detection, flakey test prediction, and test trend analysis—using modern tools such as Ollama LLM, Slackbot integrations, RAG pipelines, vector databases, and Cursor-based development. My goal is to bring intelligence and automation together, enabling faster root cause analysis, smarter regression detection, and proactive quality improvements.Beyond testing, I contribute to open-source initiatives and apply DevOps practices to create reliable, data-driven validation workflows and observability-aware test designs. I’m motivated by clear outcomes: higher uptime, faster recovery, stronger regression defenses, and confident production readiness.Key skills: OpenShift • Kubernetes • Cloud-native Storage (Ceph/CSI) • Platform Resiliency Testing • Chaos Engineering with krkn • System/Integration Testing • Test Strategy & Architecture • Python • Golang • Pytest • CI/CD • Observability & SRE practices • Distributed Systems • DevOps • Data Pipelines • AI for QE (Test Anomaly Detection, Flaky Test Prediction, Trend Analysis) • Ollama • Slackbot • RAG Pipelines • Vector Databases • Cursor
