Abhinav Srivastava

Led and achieved ~80% SDLC automation using OpenAI Codex and Cursor-based agentic workflows — covering PRD analysis, Jira ticket creation, sprint-wise developer assignment, codebase/context understanding (code, Jira, Confluence, Slack), spec-driven development, automated PR creation with test cases and acceptance criteria validation, cross-repo review confidence scoring, and post-deployment sanity checks. Revamped the Health and Life insurance buying journey using Next.Js + SDUI architecture + BFF framework, enabling 90% faster content & placement changes without deployments and a reducing standard feature delivery time by ~25% and decreasing customer dropoff rate by 35% for quote to payment. Additionally architected an AI-assisted UI configuration engine that converts design inputs into SDUI configs by learning from historical configs.

Designed and built "Lead360", a sales-agent dashboard for proposal creation and quote sharing, boosting agent-led insurance sales by ~35% through faster lead conversion.
