QA & DevOps Engineer Mobile, Web, and Device Testing IoT & Connectivity
More About MeI’m Honnesh Muppala, a passionate QA & DevOps Engineer with over 6 years of hands-on experience in testing, automation, and quality engineering across web, mobile, IoT, and device ecosystems.
Currently, I’m part of the Production Acceptance Test (PAT) team at Viasat Europe Ltd, where I help ensure that inflight connectivity and entertainment systems deliver seamless and reliable experiences for passengers worldwide. My role bridges engineering and testing — building and executing functional, performance, and failure-mode tests, and troubleshooting complex system behaviors across simulated airline environments.
I specialize in IoT and connectivity testing, mobile and web automation, and cloud-based validation. My expertise spans networking, CI/CD pipelines, system validation, and observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, and AWS CloudWatch. I’m also proficient in Android Studio, ADB Shell scripting, and end-to-end mobile device testing for Android and Fire OS platforms.
Beyond the tech, I’m an avid photographer who loves capturing moments that tell a story. When I’m not testing systems or perfecting a shot, you’ll likely find me on a badminton court or cricket field, staying active and competitive.
I’m driven by the intersection of technology, creativity, and precision — whether it’s building resilient test systems, validating IoT devices, or framing the perfect photograph.
Practical and versatile QA & DevOps Engineer with a proven track record of delivering high-quality outcomes in mobile, web, and IoT device testing. Skilled at managing priorities, meeting deadlines, and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
