Palantir is a great company to work for. I've been given the opportunity to try out many different hats, which has lead to the accumulation of various skills ranging from technical enhancement, leadership, automation and even recruiting.Automation: Writing and supporting a java automation framework and a python framework for two projects. Both frameworks are written to support backend architectures revolving around data scale and data quality. Testing: I've been involved in multiple projects as the main and solo tester from start to finish. This generally involves the skill-set from the previous section, but also includes brainstorm sessions, working with both developers and the business team, crafting a testing schedule to falls in line with release cycles, and having to push back a release when the quality wasn't deemed adequate. I am a firm believer in heavy documentation, and tend to keep high quality logs of coverage, bugs and potential areas for improvement. Debugging: Just being involved with a lot of different projects, you learn overtime what to look for when things go wrong. It is often project dependent, but I tend to start with the code and am not afraid to ask questions.Mentoring and Leading: Several occasions, I've been assigned the task of mentoring an intern or a new hire. While time consuming, I always try to invest as much time as necessary to help us both achieve our goals. I have had a very high intern to full-time rate as a mentor and take pride knowing I have gotten the most out of my interns.

Featured in all cycles of product development, to ensure a quality product both from inception to release.Test Plans: During the design phase, I would work with the software engineers to come up with a plan of testing. Would create a test plan that would be modified throughout the cycle to document how to setup, test, and track the feature.Automation: Inherited an automation framework that I could write tests in to track my feature. Built new modules when necessary and for certain features, had enough coverage to forgo manual testing completely.Feature Testing/Debugging: Along with the test plans, I would do exploratory testing on the feature. If anything was found, this would be added to the test plan. Sometimes the system would get into an unknown state, and the Quality Team would be tasked with debugging the issue to find the source of the problem. Often times a profile would be used.

This was my first real job out of college and I'm glad I got the opportunity to work here. It gave me perspective about the industry and QA in general. This position was more of a front end testing position, but it helped me learn to establish consistency, good documentation, and how to work with others.I initially received Certification in building applications using the Tririga api's. Afterwards, I was tasked with building out a majority of the functional test cases for the IWMS Suite to be used for automation and test cases for a geosearch application.
