Randy Mitchell
@randymitchell
QA engineer with 3+ years testing web, mobile, and backend systems; Active Public Trust.
What I'm looking for
I am a QA engineer with over three years of experience testing web, mobile, and backend systems in both commercial and federal environments. I hold an Active Public Trust clearance and bring hands-on Agile and CI/CD pipeline experience.
My strengths include executing and maintaining extensive regression and functional test suites across frequent release cycles and validating backend logic and data integrity through large-scale SQL validation. I have worked across UI and API layers using tools like Postman, SoapUI, Selenium, and Playwright.
I partner closely with developers, analysts, and product teams within Agile sprints to triage defects and accelerate resolution, contributing to measurable improvements in defect detection and reduced post-release issues. I also enable automated CI/CD test runs to support faster, reliable deployments.
I seek to apply my testing, automation, and test-ownership skills to ensure high-quality releases while continuing to grow in automation frameworks, API testing, and test infrastructure.
