ABOUT ME

Versatile and results-driven Fullstack Software Developer with a robust foundation as a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET). Bringing over 8 years of hands-on experience in software development, automation frameworks, and deployment, coupled with 15 years of expertise in quality assurance.

WHAT I DO

Web Development

As a client-focused Full Stack Developer, I am passionate about designing and implementing innovative programmatic solutions for both front-end and back-end development. My goal is to deliver efficient, user-friendly, and scalable applications tailored to meet client needs.

Development in Test

As a Developer in Test, I bridge the gap between development and quality assurance by leveraging advanced testing techniques and automation frameworks. I identify issues early, optimize testing processes, and deliver actionable insights to ensure reliable, high-performing software. With attention to detail and a collaborative approach, I help maintain the highest standards of software quality.

DevOps

As a DevOps specialist, I integrate software projects into CI/CD pipelines by creating and maintaining efficient build scripts to automate workflows for building, testing, and releasing applications. I schedule script executions, configure custom triggers, and ensure seamless deployment processes to enhance delivery speed and reliability

Automation Test

As a Test Automation Engineer, I design and implement automation frameworks to perform functional testing of end-to-end scenarios for both front-end and back-end applications. By analyzing functional requirements, I create robust and efficient test case designs to ensure comprehensive and reliable automated testing.

Automation Test Engineer

Work as senior technical automation test engineer in a team of 5 automation test engineers. Responsible to deliver automation test framework for functional and integration testing for three projects using Java, Selenium WD, Cucumber, RestAPI, JUnit. Integration of automation framework into CI/CD by tailoring Jenkins scripts and creation of schedulers. Communication with product owners, domain knowledge experts to learn functionality, demo of completed work, gather feedback and deliver improvements. Execute tests, perform issue analyze, bug fix in automation framework, provide test evidence.

Contribute to automation test framework, architect solutions, best practices utilizing GRASP, GoF, LISP principles for OOP and both functional and programming
Meticulous analyze code base of deligated projects by attentive read the code base and execution of tests to improve stability, remove false positive tests, decrease redundant code base
After meticulous refactoring false-positive tests were removed, cleared 1800 lines of code, increased test execution from 40 minutes to 10 minutes resulting in drastically improved overall quality of automation test framework
Established trust of the teams in automation testing and its results by holistic approach to automation test engineering
Deserved key role in technical leadership by provide technical mentoring and solutions within the team
Participate in conferences across company to share with best practices and innovative approaches in automation testing

Software QA

Managed the responsibilities of multiple roles, including senior software automation test engineer, and software test engineer. Collaborated with various teams in an agile environment. Established testing standards and processes and integrated automation testing into continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes across multiple environments.

Automated implementation of functional, end-to-end and API tests in existing Cypress and pyATS automation test frameworks and integration into CI\CD processes to test cloud monitoring application for new products resulting in continues seamless testing showing advanced learning, technical, programming and testing skills
Architected and implemented automation test frameworks from scratch using WebdriverIO and led integration into existing CI/CD process to trigger execution of functional and end-to-end tests before merge into master which drastically improved quality of shippable product
Created test plans and strategies using close communication with the QA team, development team, product owner, and product management team to ensure adequate test coverage resulting in establishing process standards and improving test management and communication skills
Architected and implemented automation test frameworks and led implementation of reusable libraries and software for testing applying best programming practices, including clearly defined contracts (via interfaces), OOP, dependency injection (decupling and testability), functional programming, reusability, design patterns, and respective unit tests
Efficiently orchestrated the execution of manual and automated tests for multiple environments using critical thinking, root cause analysis, and troubleshooting skills, resulting in discovering multiple critical and high priority issues before production
Established effective test processes using CI/CD with extensive and effective validation points to ensure quality, resulting in catching defects before production of our own team, as well as defects that escaped from other teams

Senior Automation Test Engineer

Worked in a fast-paced, agile environment on multiple complex projects, with multiple teams of 5 employees each. Developed test standards and strategies for new releases, defined the scope of testing, and collaborated with technical teams and product owners to discuss functional details. Designed and executed Java-based automation testing and performance tests frameworks and tools such as Selenium WD, Cucumber, FitNesse, TestNG, Rest Assured and JMeter etc. for web applications and RESTful application programming interface (API) services.

Leveraged technical expertise to design an automation test framework to validate databases and messages across all projects and tests for a client, resulting in 4-times faster test execution, decreased support time, and improved visibility of software quality using proficient programming skills, expertise in Java, programming design patterns
Expanded testing coverage and capabilities by introducing new automation testing technology and transitioning away from the legacy system, which enabled cleaner tests and optimized readability, maintenance, and enhancements
Led a decrease in regression execution time and enabled monitoring of software stability by implementing a necessary code base and new Gradle tasks to enhance reliability and integration of automation test frameworks into CI/CD processes
Delivered reliable and scalable software by designing and integrating a new software project from scratch, including web applications, automation test frameworks, libraries, and plugins, to test front-end, back-end, and RESTful APIs. o Utilized Cucumber, Selenium, REST Assured, and numerous best practices, including configurability, reusability of components, object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts, Java design patterns, and functional programming.
Decreased the time required for test preparation, test investigation, and QA environment health monitoring by developing web applications to facilitate testing using Spring Boot MVC, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
