I spent nearly all my time refactoring and improving the page object test harness or automating Gherkin/Cucumber “Give - When - Then” BDD use case scenarios into regression automation using SpecFlow & Deveroom in C# and VS 2020 Enterprise in support of the software used by agents to sell policies. I interacted with and held BDD refinement meetings with a Product Owner who coordinated the work between the Automation, Developer, and Manual QA teams. During weekly refinement meetings we would do a version of planning poker while deciding on the basics of how best to code an issue and where that test should live – UI, system, or unit. If necessary, we would push back on business requirements based off the value/testability/complexity of automating it.The Automation team was a sub-group of the Development team not the Test team. The Automation team and Development team would fail or succeeded to hit sprint goals together. The test harnesses used production dev libraries and thus built along with the dev code. Code Reviews (Pull requests in the Git world) required two person approvals and code quality standards were the same. There wasn’t any “test team code”.UI automation was driven by an open-source Selenium\WebDriver wrapper called Atata. The test suite was hosted as part of an Azure/ADO build process and executed on a nightly basis. Tests were data driven using Gherkin Example tags and tabular information. We used attributes to modify whether a test should be executed as a UI test, as a system HTTP API (Flurl) or a hybrid approach. We used a variety of automation styles for input data including JSON templates and a class-based system. Many tests interacted with a database (T-SQL).I was on-call to triage automation failures alongside a manual QA and a Developer. We would write bugs or fix issues on the spot depending on complexity and severity.During my time, the Automation Team of 4 increased the number of nightly automated tests from ~700 to ~ 2800.

Professional Reference: Andrew Pate Senior System Engineer Lead (My Lead)I changed titles when the AT&T video bill project shipped.I managed the end-to-end servicing of hundreds of production servers and their applications and software deployments across 4 data centers. This means I needed to be constantly balancing administrative duties with the business realities of external teams reliant on those servers.I implemented task based service schedules, monitoring using Nagios and iLom/iLo hardware that sync'd with daily work, WSUS and SCCM patch schedules. I approved patches and applied them according to industry best practices. I maintained and deployed bare metal and VMWare servers. I even did several (P2V) physical to virtual transitions. I created a Jira form for gathering hardware requirements such as not to waste resources, timelines when the "server" library resource needed to be reclaimed and to act as an EULA by defining the minimum of expected support to avoid conflicts.I was expected to do every Windows System Administration task that was needed. I created two domains in 2 different airtight data centers and was an admin over an AD Node on AT&T's global domain. I was responsible for all manner of user, computer, and group accounts and maintained user access to internal resources by managing remote desktop dual-honed hop boxes.I spent 3 years transitioning our local team support structure into the global AT&T support structure. I became a security tool, compliance, and disaster relief SME. I had PM organizational tasks where I needed to divy up work into stories and tasks such that my team could hit deadlines and I could report progress. I attended many external online meetings simply to leverage other transitioning teams difficulties and to provide guidance with overcoming difficulties of my own discovery.During this time I was Tier 3- 24/7/365 production website support.

Professional Reference: Benjamin Sherry Senior Technical Director (Hiring Manager)I was the liaison between our hardware DevOps IT team, external AT&T test and development teams and a third-party software development company in Israel for the video bill project. It was my responsibility to organize the deployment of daily builds onto hardware that my team owned. During this time I created a pre-deployment test environment, implemented a Git artifact repository to enforce good build practices, the ability to roll-back, the ability to perform defect tracking to the offending software changes, and in the automating of deployments in three data centers.My work on the Video Bill project was lauded by upper management, and I provided the CTO a custom example video to use in a presentation.When I am not actively taking part as a test\deploy consultant, I help in the maintenance of the hundreds of machines.*Active Directory*VM Ware*Physical repair and setup.*Scripting and writing services that automate easy tasks.Nagios Server Monitoring AdministrationFinally, I also have introduced the team to a Scrum-lite task system which I managed and rolled up status reports for the team to upper management.During this time I was Tier 3- 24/7/365 production support.

Wrote Visual Basic ape\monkey\random test harness that would interact with the Sonoline Ultrasound machines. The harness would run for hours in a room kept over 100 degrees exposing faults like memory leaks, hard drive storage, edge cases, and stress the physical hardware. The harness was so successful that management included that it had to run for 24 hours as a release criteria. FDA oversight on manual testing. (Medical Testing)Wrote and maintained test cases.

I took a 3-year leave of absence from college and enlisted in the US Army as a Light-Wheel Vehicle Mechanic (63B) during Desert Storm. I was put in charge of a multi-million dollar tool room with librarian-like duties and operated a 15-Ton Wrecker besides my mechanic duties. At Ft. Jackson, SC, I won the Division (10K – 20K soldiers) Soldier of the Month competition for overall conduct and military knowledge. I was awarded a Brigade (4K – 5K soldiers) Gold Coin for exemplary duty at the NTC, Ft. Irwin, CA. I completed Sergeants school (PLDC) at Ft. Lewis. Honorably discharged with the rank of Specialist (E-4); I then extended my enlistment for another two years in the Army Reserve which overlapped my return to college. (1992 – 1997)
