Booz Allen Hamilton

Senior SDET / Test Automation Lead

Hands-on automation engineering and technical leadership in federal delivery environments, guiding framework direction while improving the quality signals teams use to make release decisions.

  • Led a team of five automation engineers, establishing scalable test strategies, resource planning, and automation standards.
  • Designed Cypress and Playwright frameworks for UI and API testing with resilient asynchronous handling, retry logic, and robust assertions.
  • Built GitHub Actions pipelines that distributed Cypress Dashboard and Playwright workloads across multiple virtual machines, managed artifacts, and provisioned environments dynamically for faster, diagnosable feedback.
  • Used AWS EC2, Aurora DB, and S3 to support on-demand test environments and scalable test execution.
  • Implemented automated defect triage through Jira API integration and risk-based failure prioritization.
  • Created test dashboards with Allure and Elastic Stack for trend analysis, failure-pattern recognition, and anomaly detection.
  • Balanced parallel workloads using suite composition and observed execution time, then tracked worker timing, retries, failure categories, artifact completeness, and environment health.
  • Developed data-provisioning utilities using JSON, Excel with Apache POI, and SQL-driven injection for mock responses and contract testing.
  • Configured Selenium Grid for parallel cross-browser testing and JMeter performance benchmarks.

Chick-fil-A Corporate

Software Engineer in Test

Moved quality feedback earlier in the delivery lifecycle by connecting browser, API, visual, authentication, cloud-environment, and CI concerns into maintainable test systems.

  • Architected GitHub Actions pipelines integrating Cypress Dashboard and AWS for automated execution and rapid feedback.
  • Designed modular smoke and regression suites with JavaScript, Cypress, and Mocha, including flaky-test mitigation.
  • Integrated Applitools Eyes visual regression testing across multiple resolutions, devices, and browsers.
  • Developed Cypress and Postman API suites with contract testing, schema validation, and dynamic data-driven assertions.
  • Implemented OIDC and Okta MFA automation in Cypress for SSO-based applications.
  • Managed AWS EC2, Aurora DB, and S3 resources with AWS CLI to support scalable test environments.
  • Applied parallel execution, network stubbing, and headless testing to reduce test run time while maintaining accuracy.
  • Used Cypress Dashboard duration, failure, retry, video, and screenshot evidence to diagnose bottlenecks and tune parallel execution.

Ally Bank

Software QA Engineer

Built a foundation in risk-based testing, cross-browser investigation, clear defect communication, and release validation across complex banking experiences.

  • Performed exploratory, functional, and regression testing of web applications across multiple platforms.
  • Created test plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria aligned with business and functional requirements.
  • Executed cross-browser and responsive UI testing on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
  • Turned defects into decision-ready evidence in Jira by documenting reproduction paths, business impact, environment details, and verified fixes.
  • Ran smoke, regression, and sanity testing across development, QA, UAT, and staging environments.
  • Connected UI behavior, SQL data checks, pre- and post-deployment validation, hotfix verification, and production monitoring across the customer path.
  • Built traceable coverage across business requirements, platforms, browsers, environments, and high-risk customer scenarios.
