United States

US test automation consulting from a senior SDET who has worked at Oracle, Flipkart, and Logitech scale.

I help US engineering teams reduce regression bottlenecks, eliminate flaky tests, and build CI signal that release decisions can rely on. All my experience comes from full-time SDET roles at enterprise and product-scale companies — not theory, not side projects.

What US teams usually need

Three problems I solve most often for US-based engineering leaders.

Regression drag

Your regression suite keeps getting slower. Releases keep getting riskier.

This is the #1 problem I've fixed across Oracle, Flipkart, and Enclouden. The fix is not adding more tests — it's restructuring what you have, removing noise, and aligning coverage with release risk.

Flaky CI signal

Your team has stopped trusting the pipeline. Reruns are normal now.

Flakiness erodes engineering credibility. I've stabilized suites at product scale (Flipkart: 99% stability, 0% leakage) and know exactly which patterns to fix first.

Framework trapped in the past

Your automation framework was built years ago and nobody wants to touch it.

I've modernized frameworks at Oracle (Java + Rest-assured), Logitech (Cypress + Backstop.js), and Enclouden (Python + pytest from scratch). I don't rewrite for the sake of it — I fix what's costing you time.

How I work with US teams

Remote-first, async-friendly, outcome-focused.

Time zone

I work IST hours with deliberate US overlap.

My standard day runs 12:30 PM – 9:30 PM IST, which gives me 3–4 hours of real-time overlap with EST teams (6:30–9:30 PM IST / 8–10 AM ET). For PST teams, we use async + daily written updates. I've done this successfully at Oracle and Flipkart with US-based stakeholders.

Communication

Written daily updates, Slack async, weekly syncs.

I provide a written daily status: what was done, what blocked progress, and what needs a decision. Weekly video syncs for deeper review. No status-meeting bloat.

Payment

USD pricing. Fixed scope. Outcome guarantee.

Pricing is in USD. The Stabilization Sprint carries a 50% outcome guarantee — if your release signal is not measurably better, I refund half the fee. No questions asked.

FAQ for US teams

Common questions about hiring a remote SDET consultant from India.

Can you work US business hours?

Yes, with overlap. IST is 9.5 hours ahead of EST. My working day includes 6:30–9:30 PM IST, which is 8–10 AM EST — your morning standup and core collaboration window. For urgent matters, I adjust. At Oracle I regularly aligned with US-based release schedules.

Have you worked with US-based companies before?

Yes. Oracle (US-headquartered enterprise), Logitech program (US-based client via Tech Mahindra), and Flipkart (worked with US-based platform partners like MMT and PhonePe). I understand US engineering culture, async communication, and release discipline expectations.

Do you charge in USD?

Yes. All pricing is in USD. See the pricing page for fixed-price options. I do not charge by the hour — every engagement has a defined scope and outcome.

How do you handle confidentiality?

I sign NDAs. At Oracle and Flipkart I worked under strict confidentiality agreements. Proof pages on this site use outcome-level descriptions, not proprietary details. If you need more references, I can arrange them during qualified discovery.

How is this different from hiring a freelancer or an agency?

Freelancers deliver code. I deliver a system: diagnosis, execution, handoff, and a team that can sustain it. Fixed scope, defined outcome, guaranteed timeline. The Stabilization Sprint includes a 50% outcome guarantee.
