• Drove high-level, strategic development and quality efforts across the organization, including codeorganization standards, definition of done, and substantial staging environment improvements. These changes resulted in a 42% decrease in customer issues and production outages and a more quality driven development mindset across the organization.• Organized international efforts to create a robust, production-like staging environment for use in proving microservice functionality, scalability, and performance. Ushered in necessary changes in daily deployment processes to ensure high availability and scalability of microservices.• Led an international team in the creation of a robust, multi-threaded integration test framework. The implementation and usage of this framework resulted in 24% additional coverage for backend services while decreasing test runtime by 89% and reducing test flakiness by 84%.• Organized and contributed to a multi-threaded UI test framework in Java, using Playwright, Allure, TestNG, and other technologies. This added test coverage for additional browsers, going from only testing in Chrome, to also supporting Firefox and Safari. This also reduced UI test runtime by 67% and test flakiness by 77%.
