• Working with engineers across multiple teams I designed testing solutions for our data ingestion platform
• Using AWS SDK, TestNG, and REST-Assured I built a test framework to validate our APIs, AWS lambdas, kinesis streams, and dynamo tables are behaving as expected
• Tests ran in parallel to ensure the run time never exceeds 5 minutes providing developers with near immediate feedback on new builds
• Set up a pipeline in Concourse CI so anyone could run the tests on demand without setting up their local environment
• Added environment variables to the framework to support running it against several test environments on demand
• Active member in all agile ceremonies

• Replaced existing automation frameworks with improved TestNG frameworks using the page object model to unify the automation process across the organization
• Used selenium-server I created thread safe tests that could run in any test environment
• Leveraged the ApacheHTTPComponents library to make API calls that generated and staged new test data before each test in seconds drastically reducing runtime
• To resolve issues with finding web elements I began to raise pull requests where I added unique identifiers and classes to front end apps instead of using complex xpaths
• Contributed to a side project where my team built a custom reporting dashboard in AngularJS to display our test logs being stored in MongoDB
• Worked with ngWebDriver to resolve Selenium’s issues with AngularJS

Wilmington, Delaware

• Started as a manual testing intern
• While on a team focused on mostly web services I wrote and updated SoapUI tests as needed
• After being moved to a front end project I taught myself Java to use the new Selenium/Cucumber framework that was replacing QTP
• Actively contributed to the framework as I learned more about design patterns and efficient coding
• Used Oracle’s JDBC library to validate the UI was displaying the correct values from the database
• Converted eligible manual tests and existing automated QTP tests to Selenium/Cucumber/Java
