AI-Driven Test Automation Knowledge Platform

Cisco
LLM-assisted test generation across 300+ automation projects

An LLM-assisted workflow that reduced manual test creation across 300+ Cisco automation projects. Built on Azure OpenAI, integrated into existing Robot Framework pipelines, with concurrent multi-user execution and encrypted session handling. Git-based commit flows ship generated tests straight into team repos.

Automated QA Audit & Validation Framework

Cisco
Scalable validation engine with AI-assisted remediation

A scalable audit engine for Robot Framework code, covering security, maintainability, duplicate logic, and automation best practices. Runs concurrently across projects to improve throughput. AI-assisted remediation suggests fixes while preserving existing business logic, and structured reports feed back to engineering owners.

Python QA Governance CI/CD Reporting

Intelligent Cyberbullying Prevention System

Patent-aligned research
Privacy-focused Android keyboard with real-time NLP

An on-device Android keyboard that detects harmful content in real time, before the message is sent. The NLP workflow runs locally to minimise data persistence, and a contextual escalation framework supports adaptive moderation. Aligned to a published Indian patent on offensive-content detection.

Multilingual Document Verification Platform

Research
OCR + image-quality validation across three languages

A document verification platform that runs OCR across Hindi, Marathi, and English, with automated image-quality checks for low-resolution submissions. WhatsApp-based ingestion brought the system within reach of non-technical users in the field.
