I am, foremost, a doer and a helper. I have strengths in observing and recording processes, technical writing, and coordinating people. I love making complex processes easier to understand through writing or teaching. As an educator, I host events and create courses, and have onboarded new employees in most of my prior roles as part of how I want to help.When I join I team, I like to learn about where the strengths of a team are at along with the struggles, so I can provide a positive impact to the team as early as possible.I recently wore the hat of a QA Engineer as the QA Team's API Testing Lead, using Postman to create automated test suites using Newman and GitHub actions. I share and manage my work load through Jira and Confluence, where I build dashboards and filters to make working across teams and deadlines easier. I create test plans while completing adhoc testing for bugs or submitting detailed bug reports. I also test backend processes and database tables.I enjoy improving processes and making great, useful documentation for projects and products. I am also a strong advocate for remote work, and thrive in asynchronous cultures.Areas of Expertise:• API Testing for functional, regression, and automated testing using Postman, loading testing with JMeter, using Javascript, XML, JSON, and YAML, reviews API request logs in Kibana or Datadog• Functional and regression testing: Creating comprehensive test plans for new features andmaintenance changesets, including application, API, and database/schema testing and verificationthrough SQL• Technical Documentation and Training/Onboarding in technical and product-specific topics across products, Software as a Service (SaaS)• User Acceptance Testing: Test writing, administering, process and documentation creation, ensuring thorough manual testing and bug catching• Project Support: clear communication to teammates, leadership and clients, ongoing prioritization of my own work and developers' work, Agile/Scrumm sprint planning and management, Shape Up methodology• Software Specifications: Researching requirements and writing the technical details that enable development to occur for new products and features• SQL and Data Analysis for troubleshooting and product success, visualizations in Tableau• Experience with Office, G Suite, JIRA, Sentry, Slack, Confluence, and Bitbucket* Release management and oversight for multiple productsFun Facts:* Myers-Briggs Profile: INFJ-T* DISC Profile: High D & High C * StrengthsFinder: Relator, Intellection, Maximizer, Individualization, Input
