Software Automation Engineer at Fifth Cursor who raised warehouse API test coverage from ~10% to ~75%.

United States

Message

At Fifth Cursor, I built end-to-end Java test suites for warehouse shipment scheduling APIs, raising automated test coverage from ~10% to ~75%. Replacing manual checks cut regression time from three hours to 20 minutes per release.

I integrated the suites into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines and presented an Apache JMeter proof of concept for baselining throughput and latency. I also demonstrated a Java Playwright framework with fewer flaky failures than the existing Selenium WebDriver suite.

Across fintech, healthcare, government, and e-commerce systems, I’ve built and maintained test automation with Java, API testing, and database validation. I also built an autonomous Python trading agent that detects Fair Value Gap patterns and manages the trade lifecycle through REST and SignalR/WebSocket APIs.
