Supported launches of Buy Online, Pickup In Store (BOPIS), multiple order routing upgrades and new mobile sites. • Performed integration testing for web store including external support systems.o Created test product IDs, refined attributes and maintained test inventoryo Verified data feeds to order management and fulfillment systemso Verified order routing logic and usability of in-store mobile devices • Led teams of onsite and off-shore analysts to effectively test applicationso Compiled team status and reported statistics to stakeholders.o Coordinated test assignments among resources to avoid blocked functionality• Verified updates to web stores developed internally and by third parties.o Authored and reviewed test plans and estimated work effort. o Escalated production defects to the eCommerce Production Support team.• Refined regression test suites for web stores and supporting systemso Revise regressions to reflect current user experience, as required.• Supported stakeholder testing of Buy Online, Pickup In Store (BOPIS) programo Validated that store availability on web store matched test inventory at test storeso Tested in-store, customer-facing interfaces that support order pick up• Trained and mentored QA and Production Support team membersAt a News and Financial Information provider, performed functional and regression testing on their foreign exchange pricing aggregator. The application displays foreign exchange contract trades and facilitates their algorithmic trades. Participated in requirement reviews, led test plan reviews, estimated work effort and interviewed prospective team members. • Created test plans to verify the execution of trade algorithms• Tested the Java-based applications in Windows and Linux environments.• Worked with the automation engineers to automate the manual tests.

At a nuclear fuel supplier developing Linux-based software for core prediction, modeling and monitoring, performed functional testing and maintained the suite of regression tests. Participated in requirement reviews, led test plan reviews and estimated work effort. • Documented traceability by linking test cases to requirements in DOORS• Enhanced the scripts driving the automated regression tests.o Modified script to collect application faults and to examine output for errors.o Added data file to designate whether tests were expected to end with an error• Mentored fellow testers to help them satisfy their qualification requirements and to improve the overall testing process.

Worked with engineers and operations to make enhancements to control systems to improve productivity and quality. Supported (24x7) supervisory systems that control various processes for the production and processing of steel. · Developed database tables and procedures to record and aggregate caster quality data for every inch of steel cast. Produced reports in ColdFusion to indicate which slabs needed further inspection. The melt shop realized savings by only inspecting slabs whose quality data fell outside of the acceptable ranges for selected variables.· As part of two separate task forces, I worked with engineers, management and other automation engineers to identify process changes, which would reduce costs and improve quality in our meltshop. · Maintained supervisory control systems (written in C) that control the production of anneal and pickle lines.

Led the design, development and installation of supervisory control systems, and trained users.· Managed a team of five engineers and DBAs developing a supervisory control system for an anneal and pickle line. Wrote the functional specification and the detailed design documents, defined the database design and coordinated with the client and the other vendors to define the interfaces. The implementation was written in C++ with an Oracle database and a PowerBuilder user interface.· Member of Sales teams selling equipment and automation in Europe and Asia. Efforts included estimating man-hours and equipment based on requirements and client meetings.
