Responsible for developing and implementing cost-effective methods of testing and troubleshooting complex systems to verify functionality.As lead of test automation, I - Support and coordinate with team members and other departments - Participate in scrum ceremonies including design review, grooming, standup, retro - Develop and execute functional/regression/integration tests based on product requirements for our graphql and rest API services - Troubleshoot issues and reports them as bugs/regression with root cause analysis where possible to developers/product via Jira and escalate as appropriate outside of normal triage - Manage and maintain backlog of issues for testing and issues found while testing -Other automation tasks as requestedMy day-to-day tasks make use of the following technologies:CI/CD - argo/argo workflows - github actions - docker/docker-compose - bash scripting - slack notifications of errorsTesting - pytest - selenium - Graphql - Rest APIsShopify - Graphql - Rest APITools - datadog - docker

As an embedded QA member of a feature team, I am responsible for verification of acceptance criteria, regression, and FE testing where automation is deemed too costly to create. As a QA guild member, I create and maintain pytest and docker based test suites. I am part of a weekly rotation that triages customer service escalations. Projects that I have designed and implemented:- Performance testing with locust- Pytest plugins to supplement suites and provide reliability in a timely manner- Developer centric tools to enable quick local setup and time to development through dynamic docker-compose generation based on developers' needs.- Slack bots using websockets, Gcloud run, and gitlab pipelines for CI/CD to automate self-serve tasks to developers.- Visual regression tool for FE contractors to use when migrating themes to new engine, harnessing python-needle.- Swagger.openapi based testing scaffold harnessing docstring documentation to test flask routes. Fully integrated with VCR and mocking strategies.- Circleci and gitlab pipeline and job config through yaml files.Testing Initiatives- Reducing cost and developer time by optimization and parallelization of pytest unit and integration suite. - Refactoring tests to run in parallel- investigating slow tests for performance gains in production code- implementing x-dist in a mono-repo.Other company wide efforts I was heavily involved with: - Migrated python 2.7 to python 3.7, regression testing in increments to maintain backward compatibility.- Creating and maintaining documentation on areas tested in confluence.

As part of the Quality Engineering team at Lucidworks, I am responsible for all testing-related engineering: test automation frameworks, automated test development, performance benchmarking, dataset generation, etc. My team works closely with Engineering and Product Management to understand product features and ensure meaningful test coverage.Specific areas:• Support and write test frameworks in pytest Write tests in python | Create fixtures• Docker Create images | Harness docker-compose for dependency mapping | Create immutable images for testing features, embedding prerequisites• Browser-tester Our in-house Selenium/protractor stack for testing angular based UIs | Docker-compose based tool • Cloud Build AWS EC2 AMIs through Packer Terraform - TFE (via scripts in Jenkins) | CLI (testing) Amazon AWS ec2 through terraform [ Windows 2016 | Amazon Linux | Ubuntu ] S3 archiving of job data Route53 internal DNS zones for scale testing• Scripting Python - Automating repetitive tasks like upgrade orchestration for multiple servers | Reporting from Jira | Jenkins notifications to slack on test failures per team OS Scripting [ Bash | Powershell ]• Mentoring teammates and developers• Zap testing• Create proposals for improvements to test suites [ swagger/OpenAPI | micro-service Integration testing | sonarqube ]• Sonarqube Administration | Gradle plugin and integration with microservices | Sonarscanner • Manual testing Java based project where automation was not feasible Regression | Exploratory | Sanity• Polyglot reading code Java | Python | Node | Angular• CI/CD - Jenkins Wrote Pipeline scripts in groovy | Dockerized jobs for testing locally | Configured Archiving and retention | Debugged failures | Git multi-branch pipeline jobs | Source controlled configs/job definitions

As part of a team of developers that are responsible for the backlog of bugs in our Coldfusion & Java codebase, I am charged with improving the experience of all users of our software. Using tools such as IntelliJ and RazorSQL, along with Sublime I troubleshoot the interactions of our Java Spring based web services API, Mybatis, MSSQL, and Coldfusion templates.All work is done under Git version control system via Github using terminal commands. A Jira ticketing system under the direction of stakeholders directs my priorities. Once my code is committed, it is reviewed and then Quality Assurance looks over it before it is deployed to production. QA utilizes reproduction and tests that I write in the Jira ticket to perform their review. Once complete I initiate a pull request to the master branch for inclusion of our next release.
