About
Hi, I’m Gaurav.
I’m an SDET in Pune. For 2+ years I have built and owned API test automation for large health-insurance claims systems — where a bug doesn’t just look wrong, it reaches somebody’s claim.
I’ve also worked as a backend developer — Node.js services, real-time chat, a chatbot. I still build: full apps, LLM tools and the live demos on this site. Building a thing is the best way to learn how to break it.
