What I'm looking for

My goal is to continue to develop and grow my skill set, take on more responsibility, and develop systems that meet user needs more effectively.

At Medidata Solutions, I contribute to testing efforts for Study Execution by building test automation at the API and UI levels. Earlier, I developed and maintained the SpecFlow-based test suite for Rave, Medidata’s flagship product, improving reliability and reducing execution time while the test volume more than tripled.

At UKG, I developed and maintained automated tests for the Recruiting Module of the Ultipro HCM system, improving failure-free runs and shortening suite execution. Across software development and test automation work, I’ve built systems and test tools using .NET, Java, and SQL technologies.
