    Portland, Oregon
    I was the sole Software QA resource for a team of 8 embedded Software/Electrical engineers tasked with delivering a new platform for future products of ESI.Accomplishments:• Created and maintained a production grade automated testing framework written in C# that provides convenient communications to remote HW target boards. All test cases are written in Microsoft Unit Test style and used Visual Studio Test Explorer for execution.• Setup a production grade TeamCity Continuous Integration/Deployment build server for the group. Testing a mixture of different HW configurations 24/7. This includes auto deployment of firmware to targets for testing.• C++ programming on product system• Test case development in C#• Report generation in both C# and Python• Created a report generator in Python. The generator produces a web-based ‘Testing Results Dashboard’ report and provides scaffolding for future reports that ESI may want to produce in the future. The first report I created shows results of 250+ tests across 24 test targets with their latest execution status. The dashboard is connected to TeamCity for daily testing review. This work included; API access to TeamCity, HTML page generation using Python, templates, CSS, and Bootstrap.js. One of my roles at ESI was to champion good software quality processes within the group. I have authored multiple documents, including; the ‘Definition of Done’ as it applies to User stories, Test case creation guidelines, and provided any assistance on use of the testing framework.Our Testing/Development environment included: C++, C#, PowerShell, Python, exploratory, manual, and automated testing, Visual Studio Team Foundation Server for User story management, Visual Studio 2017 for test development and execution, Eclipse IDE for firmware development.
