Performed several roles while working on Ericsson Cloud Manager, a system that manages the physical and virtual computing, networking and storage resources in a data center (i.e., the Cloud Infrastructure).Led a team of 10 GUI Test Automation developers, with a majority being offshore in 4 different European locations. Conducted scrum, sprint planning and retrospective meetings. Mentored interns and junior developers. Reviewed test plans and code to ensure tests were well designed, technically accurate, had adequate coverage and items were not missed. Communicated issues, progress and statistics to management. Worked with management to plan resources and recruit new team members to meet project growth.Planned, documented and implemented UI/Integration/End to End tests. Ensured software and tests were consistent with requirements. Documented tests in Jira. Developed tests in Java, using Selenium WebDriver libraries. Enhanced and maintained test automation framework. Supported CI/CD. Monitored nightly regression, analyzed/resolved test failures and updated Jenkins jobs. Tracked defects in Jira.Continuously improved the GUI Automation code and process. Reduced flow duration (e.g., optimized tests, executed tests in parallel) and improved stability for Jenkins regression job (e.g., fixed unstable tests, addressed timing issues). Planned, documented and implemented REST API automated tests using the "shift left" approach (i.e., same sprint feature was developed). Defined the scope and data to be verified for the tests. Ensured test results were accurate and investigated/debugged failures. Provided rapid feedback, which improved software quality and prevented software defects. Tests were developed in Java, using a JUnit based automation framework and Jersey JAX-RS client libraries.Technologies used: Java, Selenium, REST, Postman, JUnit, JSON, Shell, Linux, Windows, PostgreSQL, OpenStack, Jenkins, Git, Gerrit, Jira, Confluence

Performed several roles while working on Telcordia Force, a dispatch system that supports work and force administration for service activation (installation) and service assurance (maintenance). Receives dispatch requests from external systems and assigns work to field technicians using an automated process.Designed, developed and tested several back-end external system interfaces, as well as feature enhancements. Inbound interfaces received and validated dispatch requests, determined assignment parameters and mapped/stored work request information into the database. Outbound interfaces received status updates (e.g., work request is assigned, dispatched or completed) and sent notifications to the external systems. Continuously delivered software on time with high quality.As a feature team lead, coordinated efforts of all feature team members to design and develop enhancements; introduced and supported new ideas and process improvements; ensured all aspects of feature development were done with quality; provided status updates to release coordinator/management; estimated work effort for new features and mentored new employees.Continuously improved software quality. Performed code inspections and root cause analysis to determine how to avoid defects and detect defects sooner. Used tools to identify and fix memory leaks. Provided troubleshooting and data analysis for issues found in production and in-house. Rapidly resolved issues and fixed software defects.Teamed with project members across all disciplines to baseline requirements and design documents, test plans, system documentation and user reference guides. Performed activities in other functional areas based on the business needs.Technologies used: C++, Java, Oracle, SQL, Shell, Unix, Linux, Windows, XML, SoapUI, Silk Performer Workbench
