Hi, I'm Vaishnov Srinath

Technical Solutions Specialist | Customer Success & Delivery

I design and deliver enterprise Test Data Management platforms, automate masking workflows, and capture cinematic frames in my free time.

About

I’m an enterprise-focused engineer with hands-on experience in solution delivery, automation, and systems integration. I support customers through deployment and day-2 operations, and I collaborate with product, engineering, and services teams to drive smooth adoption and reliable performance across environments. Outside work, I’m obsessed with travel and photography — from cityscapes and waterfalls to night skies.

Tech Portfolio

Enterprise delivery + customer enablement across TDM, automation, integration, and production support.

Featured Project

Enterprise TDM Platform Architecture

Designed bank-wide workflows for secure test data delivery

Featured
DelphixIBM OptimVDPBankingOpsDelivery
  • Designed and supported a bank-wide test data platform to deliver masked + provisioned data to hundreds of applications.
  • Defined end-to-end operating model: onboarding, dependency mapping, masking standards, and runbook-driven delivery.
  • Integrated critical banking domains (digital banking, cards, customer master) into consistent provisioning + masking flows.
  • Enabled self-service adoption patterns that reduced test data turnaround time and day-to-day support friction.
  • Worked across product, engineering, infrastructure, and app teams to keep adoption smooth and platform stable.

Masking Automation & CI/CD Execution

API + pipeline automation for repeatable, scalable runs

Automation
PythonDelphix APIJenkinsPipelines
  • Built Python + pipeline automations to trigger masking jobs via APIs and standardize execution across teams/environments.
  • Implemented queue / guardrails patterns to reduce collision, failures, and manual babysitting during peak runs.
  • Reduced manual steps by operationalizing repeatable run patterns and environment-ready validation checks.
  • Created consistent operational controls to improve reliability and troubleshooting speed for app teams.

S3 Parquet Masking for Hadoop Workloads

End-to-end file masking without additional connectors

Data Engineering
PythonS3ParquetHadoop
  • Automated end-to-end parquet masking workflows to support big data testing needs across analytics pipelines.
  • Designed workflow patterns that integrate into existing delivery processes (inputs → masking → outputs → handoff).
  • Focused on repeatability, data safety, and operational maintainability so teams can run without constant support.

Mainframe VSAM Masking Enablement

Masked sensitive datasets while supporting legacy constraints

Mainframe
IBM OptimVSAMVirtualization
  • Enabled masking for mainframe VSAM datasets using Optim + supporting delivery patterns aligned to legacy constraints.
  • Partnered with vendor and internal teams for implementation, POCs, defect triage, and performance troubleshooting.
  • Delivered adoption support for teams operating in legacy environments while keeping governance consistent.

Technical Presales, Demos & Adoption

Explained complex TDM in a way teams actually use

Enablement
DemosEnablementStakeholder Mgmt
  • Conducted technical demos and onboarding sessions to drive self-service adoption and reduce dependency on central teams.
  • Presented platform value, rollout approach, and operating model to stakeholders and application teams.
  • Aligned internal + vendor teams to reduce onboarding friction and accelerate delivery outcomes.

Beyond the Mirror: Why "100% Prod Data" is a Trap for Banking AI

TDM, governance, and why UAT models fail in the real world

In banking, pushing 100% production into UAT feels like “more data = better AI”… but it often creates brittle models that memorize yesterday’s market instead of learning the subject.

The Hidden Truth Behind TDM: Unmasking the Complexity Behind One-Click Solutions

Why Test Data Management in legacy driven industries takes far more than tools, scripts, and promises

TDMLegacy SystemsDelivery

Test Data Management is often marketed as a one click solution, but the reality inside banks and healthcare organisations tells a very different story. This post explores the hidden complexity behind TDM implementation, from legacy systems and governance constraints to coordination challenges that tools alone cannot solve...

When Masking Isn’t Enough: Real Privacy Risks in TDM

How patterns, linkages, and reuse of test data quietly reintroduce exposure

TDMWorkflowAI

Most TDM strategies stop at masking. In practice, privacy risk often survives through relationships, behavioural patterns, and repeated reuse of test data across environments. This post looks at where those risks emerge and why masking alone is not enough...
