Senior Quality Engineer at Optum Global Solutions who extends Playwright-Cucumber automation and validates APIs and databases.

Philippines

Message

At Optum Global Solutions, I serve as the sole Quality Engineer supporting a full product team, owning end-to-end quality across front-end and back-end features. I manually test features before automation and extend an existing Playwright-Cucumber framework for functional and regression scenarios.

I use GitHub Copilot in VS Code to accelerate automation scripting, then review generated code and verify test execution against live UI behavior. My automated tests run through the CI/CD pipeline, while API and database validation with Postman, Insomnia, and SQL helps check backend integrity before release.

Earlier, I tested FIS Systematics applications at IBM Solutions Delivery and FIS Global Solutions, and worked on healthcare technology at UnitedHealth Group. I began my career developing and unit-testing COBOL applications at Accenture.
