-Created and developed a software promotion process and automation needed by the development and testing teams to improve usability, efficiency, testing feedback, and security.-Using QuickBuild, Groovy, Maven, and Bash created a configurable deployment process that allows changes and new configurations to be added in less than an hour instead of taking 24+ hours.-Using SoapUI and integrated connections in QuickBuild created automated service level tests to be automatically executed in the deployment process, allowing for instantaneous feedback, and reduced maintenance needs-Created an automated framework with Gauge at its core. This allows automated testing at a UI level that uses a Cucumber-like language making it easier for any team members to write and read tests.-Used Jira to create templates and processes needed for client and server-side testing allowing security testing to be rolled out simultaneously with current software significantly reducing development delays.-Strengthened product security by revising processes and incorporating new security measures early in implementation of Agile and Waterfall SDLC methodologies, utilizing the CMMI process improvement model.-Conducted risk assessments, penetration testing with Burp suite, and vulnerability analysis of internal applications to meet CSA requirements, significantly reducing time needed to identify and address security vulnerabilities from one month to one week.-Researched new developments and emerging trends in software automation and security, to train and inform development and testing teams, and stay on top of vulnerabilities.

- Constructed and automated a testing framework simple and flexible enough to be used effectively with any automated testing tool, and by testing personnel with no previous programming knowledge.- Used VBScript for developing a libraries-based engine and TestComplete as the driver, cut regression testing time by seventy-five percent. - When tools where switched from TestComplete to QTP it only took two weeks of development to change tooling instead of three plus months of development and test rewriting to work with QTP.- Trained Quality Control personnel in the use of automated frameworks to extend testing capabilities.Lead monthly meetings with the testing team for problem-solving and identification of opportunities for innovation and expansion of automation testing. - Audited, revised, and eliminated automation tests, resulting in overall runtime efficiency improvement of fourteen percent. - Established, documented, and audited improvements for departmental standards.Implemented a new communication process between development and testing teams resulting in fifty percent faster bug correction rate, and improved clarity of issues related to future problem solving. - Created a monitoring system using C# that monitored application servers to identify and alert development and IT teams of problems before customers had a chance to report them; reducing support center calls by thirty-two percent. - Analyzed software delivery environments to improve efficiency.Resolved significant bottlenecks in software delivery, utilizing LoadRunner and Microsoft Team performance tools, to reduce response rate time by ninety-two percent from three months to less than one week. - Eliminated redundancy in labor and hardware resources by identifying opportunities to streamline environments shared by development and testing teams.

- Programmed/maintained automation scripts for Rational® Robot automated testing software- Designed and published internal Quality Assurance work flow for converting from DOS to windows-based platform- Refined QA process and test cases to improve module completion time by 75%- Refined development process to improve application delivery by 18%- Pioneered the first software testing department for company branch- Managed all testing resources including environment, tools and personnel- Trained technical support teams in product use and troubleshooting
