Server Setup Automation Fronted Project:

• -Developed all required functionality utilizing Git cli and GitLab for source control to build out a containerized Flask application with docker, tied to an interactive and responsive UI built out with JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, and JQuery, creating a streamlined server setup user experience.
• - Collaborated with backend developers to define API requirements, troubleshoot integration issues, employ Object Oriented (OOP) design patterns such as encapsulation and abstraction and ensure efficient data flow and automation.

Project Evolve:

• - Build out GitLab deployment pipelines in yaml for multiple windows based application services.
• - Implemented CI/CD principles using GitLab CI, in order to automate automating the build, test, and deployment processes.
• Worked with Developers and Quality Assurance Agents to assure compliance, test, and troubleshoot our pipeline deployments of services.

Utilize many other utilities such as Splunk, Solarwinds, Windows Event Viewer, Powershell, cmd, F5, Beyond Compare and Apollo SQL, in the course of the job to troubleshoot pipeline errors, Windows IIS and Linux based services, and PHP and Kubernetes based Application errors on both testing and production environments.

Developed my skills speaking Mandarin Chinese while working with the Restaurant staff and meeting the expectations of a busy kitchen.

• Used the Jest, Puppeteer and Playwright Javascript frameworks to create both automated QA integration testing and end-to-end testing suites.
• Implemented the BackstopJS visual regression testing and Google Lighthouse frameworks into Tailwind's Typescript app, ensuring type safety and scalability, both now running tests on Tailwind's site daily.
• Found and create Pull Requests resolving +20 bugs in Tailwind's QA testing system.
• Using Node.js, SQL and PHP, created a new login function for our end-to-end tests to allow for passing in an object containing the test specific user properties to ensure compatibility of any testing account with any test.
• Using Node.js and Jest, created a test run concurrency batching system to run our tests in parallel, reduced total test suite runtime from 8hrs to ~40 min.
