Guided local, hybrid, and remote teams composed of software developers and QA Analysts towards consistent delivery of value. Organized scrum ceremonies and held teams accountable for sprint commitments. Planned project delivery through team velocity tracking and upfront sizing of work to be done. Collaborated with Project Managers to define scope of work and timeline for delivery through regular meetings and overcommunication of status and setting of expectations.

Java, Selenium Webdriver, Postman, Javascript, React, Oracle Database, DockerIndividual contributor on a team with 3 developers, responsible for testing the work done within the team and documenting new functionality.Using Java and Selenium WebDriver, I enhanced our test suite by adding comprehensive coverage for new functionality. This involved updating the test suite to include the necessary tooling, ensuring thorough validation and testing of the new features.Guided the development team and engaged stakeholders in the collaborative definition of requirements, ensuring that the delivered work consistently aligned with agreed-upon requirements and met established deadlinesImplemented stringent quality standards within my development team, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of shipped bugs and eliminating the necessity for post-release hotfixes.

Java, Selenium Webdriver, Postman, PostgreSQL, DockerManaged a QA team with each member embedded in individual projects, organizing QA efforts across all projects and representing QA in management. Led interdepartmental work efforts, iterated and improved QA processes, and documented project preparations. Developed a proof of concept for Selenium WebDriver automation. ManagerFormalized the release process by thoroughly documenting changes, working closely with stakeholders, and managing live releases. This resulted in a clearer release procedure, a more stable product, and a reduced need for hotfixes.Implemented a new standard process for integrating the Dev and QA teams, providing a clearer understanding of responsibilities and designated points of contact for emergent issuesTrained the QA team in automation practices, empowering them to develop and enhance their skillsSDET Spearheaded initiatives to enhance automated testing practices and integrate them seamlessly into Continuous Integration workflows.Developed a proof of concept for a Selenium Webdriver automation framework to streamline testing processes.Crafted and integrated Postman scripts into CI/CD pipelines to bolster API testing capabilities.Upheld stringent "ready to release" standards by optimizing automated testing protocols and CI/CD pipelines.

Responsible for testing the work of 8 developers, leading test efforts on assigned projects, mentoring team members, creating and running test cases and exploratory tests, interfacing with the Dev team in a Scrum environment, performing white box testing, and managing releases of new builds.Developed Comprehensive Test Plans for all development projects, ensuring thorough coverage and consistent testing practicesEstablished Rigorous Testing Standards that ensured high-quality releases within a short cycle structure, significantly reducing defectsOptimized Test Environments: Introduced the use of dedicated test environments, replacing a interdepartmental shared environment approach, which enhanced test reliability and accuracy

Worked in a team of 5 QAs testing endpoint firmware and software, write and review test cases used to evaluate functionality of new builds, as well as create tools to help make testing more effective. Frequently performed focused exploratory testing, to expose oversights/bugs. Maintain the test environment for QA and dev teams. Improved manual testing efficiency by programming an automated tool in C# that reduced down time between testsConducted load testing on backend test environments, analyzed the results, and presented results to key decision makersAdvanced screen quality verification by creating a program to evaluate consistency of target hardware screens
