Message

I've built QA automation from scratch at The Open Platform, creating custom frameworks, integrating continuous testing into CI/CD, and designing performance testing to validate scalability and stability under peak workloads.

Across Paycos and Andersen, I've developed API and UI test frameworks with Python, TypeScript, Golang, Selenium, Appium, and Playwright. I’ve led automation teams, reviewed test code, mentored engineers, and partnered with development, product, and DevOps teams to improve coverage, delivery efficiency, and release confidence.
