I improve streaming-platform quality through automation, multi-platform testing, and DevOps-driven delivery.
What I'm looking for
At Cogeco Connexion, I owned end-to-end QA for the EPICO streaming platform serving 600,000+ subscribers across Android, iOS, Apple TV, Roku, FireTV, and Samsung TV. I coordinated automation, defect triage, and release reporting across a QA organization of 50+ engineers.
I increased automated test coverage from 45% to 70%+ using Witbe, reduced manual testing workload by over 50%, and cut weekly defects by 50% through functional, regression, smoke, performance, and integration testing. I also used AI tools to refine test scenarios, investigated device logs with ADB, validated UI against Figma, and partnered with product, design, DevOps, backend, and vendor teams.
I’ve also deployed a full-stack portfolio website on AWS EC2 using Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins CI/CD, GitHub webhooks, and Amazon Route 53.
