Message

At OASIS, a PAYCHEX company, I built an AI-driven testing system with Claude LLM and Model Context Protocol that cut daily test analysis from 3 hours to under 10 minutes. I also automate web UI coverage with Playwright and TypeScript and maintain Selenium frameworks.

Across healthcare, insurance, and fintech applications, I’ve built automation for end-to-end and API testing, including 500+ BDD scenarios and 98% API coverage of critical insurance workflows. I’ve embedded Jenkins and Docker quality gates that maintained 95% test execution reliability and used manual testing to uncover complex edge cases.
