Perform manual and automated MySQL db testing, focusing primarily on OTP (online transaction processing) workflows. Use shell scripts to create automated, predictable tests in an automated fashion; using expected file results and table dumps as comparison. Verify monthly Transaction Reconciliation, Invoice and Earning Statement reports in transaction database and Finance Portal reports.

Retained by ITG after the acquisition of ESP and continued to create, enhance, and automate Single Ticket Clearing tests. Applied these same techniques to extend automation to other file-based ITG products.• Created automated functional and regression tests for eight unique products, resulting in both nightly and on-demand QA regression testing. New source code can quickly be smoke tested.• Successfully transitioned Single Ticket Clearing Tests and Test Infrastructure from ESP to ITG.• Automated Trade Ops Settlement Notification Services for ‘SWIFT Only’ messages, establishing the framework for future automated tests.

• Solely responsible for testing and developing the QA infrastructure to handle first and second generations of the Clearvoyance (CV) Settlement Aggregation system. This was a “greenfield” effort which involved creating a test harness, as well as different test scenarios and scripts to partially automate the manual testing effort. Being the ONLY QA Engineer for all of ESP’s critical CV product line, the testing was done under tight deadlines and extreme pressure with few tools other than those self-developed. Assisted in customer training of Clearvoyance Settlement Aggregation System.• Created data-driven XLOG and EXPT File Generators to simulate OASYS response files which sped up the tests and eliminated the need to have a separate, dedicated OASYS test workstation.• Created Demos and facilitated pre-sales demonstrations that allowed the Sales Manager to make a compelling pitch to potential customers. • Performed FIX certifications with various clients and destinations according to specifications to validate specific FIX tags and values.

Supported architects that used the ArchiCAD tool by helping them with installation, training, bug verification and ensuring their answers are handled in a professional and timely manner. Interfaced between customer/reseller and R&D when bugs reported.

Ensured products (SpeedSim, PowerSuite, Palladium) were kept out of the critical path on customer designs when bugs were encountered. Reproduced field failures for the R&D group, as well as developed workarounds to allow the customer to continue while R&D created a proper fix. Developed training modules and labs and taught them to Field Application Engineers.• Created data collection scripts that extracted pertinent metrics for capacity/runtime performance analysis. • Analyzed performance data by using profiling tool to determine where the bottlenecks in simulation were occurring.

Software Quality EngineerSoftware Quality Assurance (SQA) Engineer performing regression testing and verification, software releases, ASIC Library Verification, and writing/maintaining scripts for automation. Responsible for turning QA testing very quickly and on demand, for emergency releases and full software releases. • Created tools to help automate the process to achieve overnight software QA.• Optimized regression test suite by consolidating nightly tests to eliminate test redundancy.
