About Me

I am Mohamed Abdul Kadar, a results-driven Technology Leader and Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect with 17+ years of experience delivering high-quality, scalable cloud-native solutions, robust API-driven microservices, and enterprise-grade test automation frameworks. I specialize in designing and implementing end-to-end CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies (web, mobile, API, and backend), and reliable deployment architectures using GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Jenkins, and infrastructure-as-code. My strength lies in bridging engineering and quality — building resilient automation frameworks, enabling observability and testability, and mentoring teams to adopt best practices in software development, testing, and DevOps. I bring a pragmatic approach to quality engineering, a deep commitment to test coverage and performance, and a proven track record of improving release velocity while maintaining production stability.
