Andrew Gardner

I am a dedicated Software Development Engineer in Test with a strong background in automating UI tests and enhancing software quality. At CURO Financial Technologies Corp, I successfully automated tests for a Corporate Loan Management System, increasing test coverage by 35% and improving script execution efficiency by up to 60% through the refactoring of legacy automation projects. My commitment to quality assurance is evident in my ability to detect and report over 150 defects during comprehensive manual testing, ensuring that new features meet the highest standards.

In addition to my technical skills, I excel in facilitating cross-team communication, which has significantly reduced misalignment issues between Software Engineering and Product teams. I have authored and maintained documentation for numerous applications, improving team onboarding efficiency by 40%. My experience also includes managing feature testing and maintenance using Azure DevOps and GitHub, where I introduced integration tests that reduced bug occurrences by 25%. I take pride in my ability to lead teams, having acted as a QA Manager and trained over 10 new team members, streamlining the onboarding process.
