I developed a new test automation frameworks in C# .NET Core for payments microservices to send payment instructions to banks including; TransferWise, NAB and DBS. The framework consists of: xUnit test framework Flurl for API test automation Wiremock.Net for Service Virtualisation Docker to containerise infrastructure components to test Localstack to test without depending on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for: Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Amazon DynamoDB NoSQL database Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) PACT for contract testingI used AWS to manage EC2, ECS and RDS instancesI used Terraform to configure AWS and dockerI configured TeamCity to do Continuous Integration of builds and testsI used Postman for exploring APIs

Lead consultant for test automation on the Oracle Fusion Middleware migration project for the MoJ.I used Wiremock for Service Virtualisation of over 50 APIsI developed Cucumber BDD features, scenarios and stepsI developed a test automation framework in Groovy to test SOAP and REST APIsI developed Gradle build scripts to build and test the frameworkI configured Bamboo to do Continuous Integration of builds and tests

Ontology was an early entrant AI startup that used semantic technology (RDF4J) with Apache Lucene search to classify, reason over and link up complex data from telecommunications networks. Using data all the way from device configurations through Network Management Systems (NMS) and provisioning systems to customer billing and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Linking the data in this way gave clear insights to the revenue assurance teams who were looking for unbilled services and unused circuits. It also gave the change management and fault teams a way of relating the network to customers so they could ensure Service Level Agreements were being met.I developed Java 8 fitnesse fixtures for test automation I developed Java 8 Selenium 2.5 test framework for test automationI developed Vagrant (utility for managing the lifecycle of virtual machines) configurations I wrote ant scripts to do build tasks I configured Jenkins to do Continuous Integration of builds and tests I ported 20,000 java unit tests from Mockito 1.10.19 to 2.8 I wrote data conversion scripts in Python I used both SVN and GIT for source control I wrote Groovy scripts to test embedded Groovy engine I wrote Jython scripts to test embedded Jython engine I analysed memory leaks with Eclipse Memory Analyzer I found security issues with OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) I built workload models of User and API profiles for performance testing I wrote queries to query over graph stores and SQL databases

(Acquired by EXFO)I built proof of concepts for Finance, Utilities, Government, Retail and Media domains. This involved creating data loaders, talking with subject matter experts, writing rules and configuring UI widgets. I developed demonstration systems for a number of Telemanagement World Events in France and Ireland. I developed a Java application to evaluate Triple and Graph data stores. I presented at a Semantic Technology & Business Conference in New York around the use of Semantic technologies. I was responsible for: Product owner role for Agile Scrum sprints Communicating product plans Customer and sales feedbackProduct Roadmaps Supporting relationships with development teamTracking technology developments Writing user stories

I built a delivery team to configure and supply Ontology Platform for various projects in the; UK, Denmark, Portugal and South Africa. All projects were delivered using Agile Scrum in 2 week sprints. I was the scrum master on many of the projects. I mentored team members to enable them to build better solutions. I attended meetings with our clients to work through issues in project delivery. I supported the pre-sales and sales team to help them propose solutions to clients. I made sure to understand the "why" behind client requests and worked with my team, developers and the client to deliver the best solution. I had to literally discover connections in dispirit systems to build complex network topology.

I analysed customer requirements and developed applications using Ontology's semantic search platform (A Semantic rules engine with Lucene search).I integrated data from the following sources: Tellabs Optical, Ethernet, SONET/SDH, ATM Cisco routers and switches Juniper routers Transmode optical Oracle databases (Customer, Service and billing records) XML data sourcesI worked with the following customers; Telenor Neotel Internet Solutions Level 3 Vodafone Telkom

I designed and developed a automated testing framework in Java using Fitnesse BDD to automated testing of the Web UI.I exploratory tested the Eclipse IDE plugins for configuring the back end server via REST.I used the following technologies; Python Java Bash SQL SPARQL REST Git Subversion Jira Jenkins

(Acquired by BMC Software)I developed new matching rules in Python and wrote queries to enhance reporting.I met with our financial services clients such as; JP Morgan and Dresdner Kleinwort, to gather new requirements to extend the Tideway Foundation CMDB (Configuration Management Database).

Consulted to the following clients in the areas of Test Management and Rational Unified Process: Accident Compensation Corporation- Reviewed test process to ascertain how Rational tools could be deployed.Baycorp Advantage Ltd- Mentored in-house team to automate green screen testing.Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet- Tested document system.Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited- Recommended methods to increase test scope.Ministry of Social Development- Recommended steps to find issues earlier in SDLC.Strait Shipping Ltd- Developed test strategy and managed test process.Telecom New Zealand Ltd- Analysed systems logs to model performance workloads.Vero Insurance Ltd- Mentored in-house team in the use of IBM Functional Tester for Java.

(Acquired by Oracle Corporation).I managed 9 test engineers in the areas of performance, system, integration and test automation. I formulated strategy and put in place metrics to manage the testing process. I implement Rational Unified Process in the testing area.I designed and developed a automated testing framework in Python for testing of the CORBA API.

(Acquired by Gallagher Group Ltd)I provided pre-sales, after-sales, training, security consultation and integration to customers in the USA, Latin America and South Africa for Cardax networked security systems. Market analysis of competition and legislation. Consultancy to; Johnson Controls (USA, Brazil & Mexico), Bank of America, Banco do Brasil, Banco de Mexico, Vodaphone (South Africa), and Motorola (Brazil).I provided on-site technical support to Underwriters Laboratories to gain UL, ULC and FCC certification.

I designed tests for software ranging from real time microcontrollers to UNIX systems. I investigated and purchased automated testing solutions. I developed applications to automate; Test Planning, Defect reporting and Release Notes. I managed product deployment process including beta testing.I managed concurrent projects involving the strategic development of new products and tactical development of existing UNIX, Windows and Embedded product ranges, with teams of up to 12 people.

I designed end to end tests for embedded microcontroller products which connected to UNIX and Windows servers. I developed an automated testing tool to test the API between a back office accounting system and an EFTPOS terminal. I developed automated tests on a HP 4957A Protocol Analyser to simulate the EFTPOS API.
