I'm Brinder Bedi, a QA Engineer with over 20 years of experience in software testing, test automation, and quality engineering across enterprise, public sector, healthcare, and media. I'm passionate about AI-augmented quality engineering and excited to apply applied AI to test generation, intelligent defect triage, and data-driven testing to deliver smarter, faster, and more predictive QA at scale. I have hands-on experience with Oracle AI, Generative AI Foundations certification, and leading QA teams across global projects. I collaborate cross-functionally with AI product teams to surface defects and improve outputs, and I aim to systematically layer AI tooling on top of strong QA foundations rather than replace them.
