Functional Tester at the Air Force 90th COS
CNF Technologies Corporation
03.2023 - 01.2024
- Functional Tester for the 90th Cyberspace Operations Squadron for the Air Force
- Developed test plans for several teams within the 90th COS by refining lists of testable tool requirements, transforming less defined requirements into something functionally testable, coming up with use cases, and determining the test environments needed to test the tools
- Consistently communicated with the team members when requirements changed for a tool to change the test plan accordingly
- Worked with 90th COS members to craft automated test scripts in Robot Framework that ran in Gitlab CI/CD pipelines for their tools
- Manually tested some 90th COS tools for functionality based on the test plan created
- Delivered reports in the format used by the 90th COS either manually, or by formatting the reports in the pipeline.
DevOps Engineer and Build Manager for OpenCPI
CNF Technologies Corporation

- DevOps Team member supporting the OpenCPI project, an open-source framework that streamlines the ability to design and implement components and applications on embedded Software Defined Radios (SDRs)
- Experience focused on network setup, framework of unit tests, and framework of GitLab Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) testing pipeline
- Build manager for OpenCPI releases 2.3.1 - 2.5.0-alpha. Manually cherry-picked commits, updated changelogs, and fixed merge conflicts to ensure compatible changes resulted in functional releases.
- Improved OpenCPI test coverage by establishing and expanding the physical network to allow “Hardware in the loop” testing of embedded systems against the software framework
- Increased CI/CD pipeline bandwidth by standing up an instance of an AWS virtual server to allow testing via a gitlab runner on the virtual server
- Decreased release build time by improving build methodology, e.g
- By adding brief weekly maintenance on the release branches which decreased the end build time, and communicating reminders to the team on proper ticket setup for release issue inclusion
- Improved team productivity by assisting new team members get up to speed with the OpenCPI processes and tools, especially git/gitlab
- Clarified customer understanding of OpenCPI by creating detailed instructions for an air-gapped installation of the framework and updating OpenCPI tutorials
- Improved test maintainability by converting tests from xml based to python based tests
- Enabled public use of OpenCPI containers by pushing existing docker registered containers to a public gitlab register.
