QA Automation Lead at Advantage Solutions who built five Playwright frameworks and automated production monitoring.

United States
Message

At Advantage Solutions, I built and maintained five Playwright automation frameworks covering about 300 tests across five applications. I also automated Datadog mobile synthetic monitoring with ServiceNow incident creation and Azure Logic Apps alerts, replacing about an hour of daily manual monitoring.

I used Claude Code with feature-specific knowledge files to ground generated tests in documented requirements and business logic. I also designed a multi-stage refactoring workflow and independent code review process that refactored more than 10 TypeScript files with zero regressions.

At TextNow, I built Go-based backend automation for the SIM activation workflow, supporting about 500,000 active users, and developed gRPC and REST API integration tests that ran on every pull request. I containerized the test environment so the microservices stack could be started with one command.

At Sidecar Health, I led five SDETs and built REST API and Android test automation frameworks; the API regression suite reached 70% test coverage. Earlier, I contributed to API and UI automation at Trimble and built automated test scripts for Rockwell Collins' Positive Train Control Back Office Server.
