What I Do

Ecommerce Platforms

Extensive experience in testing end-to-end transactional flows for ecommerce applications, including order routing through ERP, payment gateways for credit card, PayPal, Affirm, Synchrony, Apple Pay, etc., data integration of complex catalog data in ACES and PIES formats, and implementing/validating analytics tracking via GA4 and Adobe Analytics.

CI/CD

I specialize in automating all phases of the development life cycle, with emphasis on integrations and deployments. I have enterprise-level experience with Docker-k8s, Jenkins, CircleCI, TravisCI, GitHub Actions, and GitLab.

Test Automation

Custom UI/API/ERP test automation for native and web applications, specializing in python/pytest with Selenium or Playwright for UI frameworks. Test automation can also be scripted in JavaScript, C#, and for API frameworks I can leverage Go. Frameworks provide easy extensibility, reliability, and integration into continuous deployment pipelines.

Management

I have managed on-prem, off-shore, and distributed remote teams of QA analysts, engineers, and PMs, and I specialize in maintaining a big-picture perspective on technical projects and the team members driving them.
