## About

```text
I've delivered quality engineering for GuideWell Technologies, Dell/Boeing, TxDOT, and regulated healthcare, manufacturing, defense, and financial systems.

At GuideWell, I build Selenium WebDriver and TestNG automation for Medicare Advantage and Supplement workflows, achieving 85%+ code coverage. I also create reusable Java utilities that reduced script development time by 30% and stabilized flaky tests to reduce failures by 45%.

I combine UI, API, database, mobile, performance, and migration testing with CI/CD practices in Azure DevOps and Jenkins. I've mentored junior QA engineers, reported release-readiness metrics, and partnered closely with Agile teams to resolve defects and improve coverage.
