About

Hey, I’m Chaitanya.

I’m an SDET in Bengaluru. I break software for a living, mostly with Playwright and Python. Four years in — currently at a hiring platform, before that engineering productivity at a marketplace.

Lately a lot of my work is testing AI, which mostly means building AI to test it back. There’s a synthetic candidate that sits real job interviews and tries to sound like a nervous junior. It’s a strange job and I like it.

This is where I write up things that broke and what actually fixed them, usually after two or three wrong guesses. All of it is stuff I’ve genuinely run.

Links are up top. If you’ve hit the same problem and solved it differently, I’d like to hear about it.
