Adam Vanderborg

Owned the quality engineering strategy for mission-critical logistics and tracking systems supporting high-volume shipment flows across multiple platforms.

• Architected and scaled a Selenium + TestNG automation framework that converted high-risk manual regression flows into reliable, CI-driven validation pipelines.
  
• Built API-level contract and integration tests using Rest-Assured, Karate, and AWS API Gateway to validate backend services independently of UI, significantly improving defect detection earlier in the pipeline.
  
• Integrated automated suites into Jenkins pipelines, enabling every build to be validated before promotion to QA or production.
  
• Designed cross-browser and grid-based test execution using BrowserStack and Selenium Grid, ensuring consistent behavior across customer environments.
  
• Improved framework structure, Maven configuration, and reporting pipelines, resulting in more stable builds, clearer failure diagnostics, and faster triage cycles.
  
• Partnered directly with developers and product owners to identify high-risk system behaviors and convert them into automated regression coverage.
  
• Led defect triage for release-blocking issues, ensuring critical logistics workflows remained stable across deployments.

Delivered quality assurance for enterprise-grade financial systems handling sensitive customer and transaction data.

• Designed and executed risk-based test strategies across complex financial workflows including account management, loan origination, and transaction processing.
• Built BDD automation suites using Cucumber, Gherkin, Java, and POM, enabling business-readable scenarios to be executed as part of regression cycles.
• Developed API validation pipelines using Postman and SwaggerHub to verify backend service correctness, independent of UI.
• Performed database-level validation with SQL, ensuring application behavior matched financial records and downstream systems.
• Supported parallel execution and cross-browser testing using Selenium Grid and BrowserStack, improving test throughput and release coverage.
• Established strong traceability and reporting through TestRail and JIRA, giving leadership clear visibility into release readiness and defect trends.
• Actively contributed to Agile ceremonies and requirements refinement, helping prevent defects before they entered development.
