I am Gopinath Emmidisetty, a British citizen with a strong foundation in software development and a track record as a QA leader who builds automation frameworks, ensures release readiness, and guides teams to deliver scalable, reliable software. I specialize in bridging development and QA to drive continuous improvement in Agile environments, particularly for blockchain-based enterprise applications on Bitcoin SV and related ecosystems. From leading QA strategy at nChain to hands-on testing across API, web, and mobile, I mentor SDETs and testers, design end-to-end test coverage, and architect CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions. I am continually expanding my skills, now exploring AI core concepts, prompt engineering, and LLM tooling to stay ahead in quality assurance and software delivery.
