Message

At Skool, I lead test automation strategy across API and performance testing. I built a Python API test framework from scratch and developed a Locust-based load-testing framework to evaluate system resilience.

I also created a k6 load-testing proof of concept, integrated AI-assisted workflows into test development, and validate application data against PostgreSQL.

At Everbridge, I developed a Python/pytest framework with more than 2,000 API tests for REST services and implemented a Playwright UI framework covering more than 20 test cases. I also created Jenkins jobs and GitLab pipelines for automated CI test execution.

At Alegeus, I established QA practices and built C#/.NET API and UI automation frameworks covering more than 1,000 and 200 test cases, respectively. Earlier, at PKWARE, I owned API test automation for more than 200 tests and created a Python-based Locust framework for performance testing.
