I was hired as a QA automation architect and assigned two partime resources to design multiple QA automation frameworks for the 1CS, Data Management, and Archieve & Access projects to test UI and API applications as well as data pipeline (ETL) implementations by way of the Agile/Scrum methodology.

I created a Jira QA automation project stricly for QA automation across the entire organization which was the home of our story board, user stories, tasks, and sub tasks.

I lead daily QA automation standups to track progress of work and to mitigate issues/risks daily.

I designed a base QA automation framework using Katalon Studio (functional/regression QA automation tool) and Cucmber that integrated with Jira via JQL for storing Gherkin User Stories, QAlity TCM tool, Git Bash & Bitbucket for version control, and KRE for CI/CD that supported UI/API applications (ETL Implementations) to be used as the standard base automation framework across the entire organization.

I designed the UI, API, and data pipeline QA automation framework to support HL7 to FHIR, CCDA to FHIR, and CCDA to PostgreSQL test script creation by way of multiple groovy templates.

I designed groovy UI automation scripts using Katalon/Cucumber Step Definitions, and Feature files to test various UI scenarios in the 1CS and Data management application.

I was promoted to QA manager and assigned two direct reports for test automation overall and the Archieve & Access project.

Mentored resources and over saw the creation of UI QA automation frameworks using the base QA automation framework for multiple UI applications for the Archieve & Access project applications (Legacy, Vista, etc.).

I managed the QA activities on multiple data implementations for a healthcare provider/insurer client for the organization by way of the Kanban project management methodology which was converted to Agile/Scrum for subsequent implementations.

Lead multiple test planning/execution efforts to design SQL based test scenarios (count based, orphan/null checks, UI/backend comparisons, functional test scenarios, etc.) to test at the data aquisition, exploration, and provision stages of the project which included UI testing in the clients Discover application.

Created QA data quality test metrics for accuracy, completeness, duplication, and execution time of the data which was reported out to the project team post load.

Lead multiple test planning/execution efforts for an AWS data project where AWS Glue was the ETL service, the CCDA files were stored in S3 as S3Keys made accessbile via AWS's bastions, Dynamo was the database and the data was queried via Athena and where I designed SQL based test scenarios (count based, orphan/null checks, UI/backend comparisons, functional test scenarios, etc.) to test post load.

Utilized the AWS Glue Data Catalog to perform analysis of the metadata to gather information that related to load results.
