Summary

I am an experienced QA Test Automation Engineer with over a decade of experience in both manual and automated software testing. I have been a team lead on both fast-paced revenue-generating teams and exploratory R&D focused teams. My experience has given me a unique perspective on the importance of quality assurance in different stages of software development. As an automation team lead, I have gained a reputation for providing effective leadership, driving results, and fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.

In my most recent role at Indeed I developed expertise in Python and TypeScript coding languages and gained extensive experience with a variety of automation tools such as Selenium, TestCafe, GraphQL, Rest API, SQL, Cloud Data Management, Salesforce automation, and CI/CD pipelines. My work involved both front end and backend automation, and I was responsible for mentoring other QA team members to facilitate their advancement to automation engineers.

As a QA Test Automation Engineer, I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies. I have a track record of delivering high-quality results, and I am always looking for ways to improve processes and drive efficiencies. I am a collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about using automation to deliver high-quality software products. I am excited about the prospect of contributing my skills and experience to a new team and helping them achieve their goals.
