United Kingdom
I help UK engineering teams fix flaky test suites, reduce regression bottlenecks, and build release pipelines they can trust. My experience comes from full-time SDET roles at Oracle, Flipkart, and Logitech-scale programs — real delivery, not consulting theory.
⏰ GMT/BST overlap: 4.5–5.5 hours — I cover your entire working day 💰 USD pricing, GBP-friendly invoices
Why UK teams hire me
Full-day overlap
My standard day (12:30–9:30 PM IST) overlaps 8 AM–5 PM GMT/BST perfectly. I join standups, participate in sprint ceremonies, and respond in real-time — no async-only limitation like US timezone consultants.
Fintech and SaaS experience
Flipkart's CRM platform (Smart Assist) served 10M+ users. Oracle's enterprise release process is as rigorous as any UK financial services environment. The testing discipline transfers directly.
Outcome-based engagement
No hourly billing. No scope creep. The Stabilization Sprint carries a 50% outcome guarantee — if the release signal is not measurably better, I refund half the fee.

Excellent. IST is 4.5 hours ahead of GMT (5.5 during BST). My working day (12:30–9:30 PM IST) covers your full 9 AM–5 PM working day. I join standups, sprint reviews, and can respond in real-time — no async delay.
Yes. Oracle's engineering discipline, compliance requirements, and release governance are comparable to what you would find in UK banking, insurance, and enterprise SaaS. I understand SOX-adjacent controls, change management, and audit-ready testing.
Fixed-price in USD. I can issue GBP invoices if needed. Engagements start with a release audit (7-10 days, $8K) or a Stabilization Sprint (20 days, $24K with 50% outcome guarantee). Contracts are straightforward — scope, price, timeline.
I typically start within 1-2 weeks of a signed agreement. The first week is always the diagnosis — no guesswork, just observation, measurement, and a prioritized action plan.
