CI/CD and Automated TestingI have performed all phases of QA and code testing, including generating test cases, developing automated tests, implementing performance tests that involved parallel processing, and building and consuming release pipelines. Collaboration Because of the cross-functional nature of my work, I work successfully with colleagues and teams across the globe. The groups I work with include product management, DevSecOp, QA engineers, site reliability engineers, and technical support engineers.Multi-Platform Training I have been a sought-after instructor, training a wide variety of stakeholders in multiple contexts on widely varied topics, from product functionality for end users, to programming principles and API development for internal developers, to highly technical content for customers’ own development teams. DocumentationDifferent situations require different approaches to documentation, and I tailor what I do to each scenario. Stakeholders for whom I have documented applications and systems include customers’ end users, product managers, implementation specialists, salespeople, and QA testing teams, as well as Bentley colleagues.
