I bring release management and quality assurance to modern standards.

I have more than 5 years of experience leading teams in writing comprehensive automation in all facets of testing, tied into CI/CD that teams can rely on to verify new features, cover regressions, drive development, and ensure smooth releases.

As SDET Lead, I have mentored and developed QA Engineers, Developers, and SDET's in testing philosophy and best practices for both manual and automated testing. I have also nurtured skills and tools including:

• Docker
• AWS (S3, EC2, EFS, SQS, SNS, Lambda, ECS, etc.)
• Jenkins CI
• Zephyr (JIRA Plugin)
• Writing documentation and Bug reports
• Python + Pytest, Splinter, BOTO2/3, Flask, BottlePy, etc.
• NodeJS + Mocha, Chai, Supertest, Chromeless, WebdriverIO, CypressIO, etc.
• Git, SVN
• API Testing
• Unit Testing
• Integration Testing
• Database Testing
• Load Testing
• UI Testing
• Testing Machine Learning Engines
• Linux/GNU

As Release Manager, I have owned the Release Management lifecycle. This includes:

• Implementing and managing release processes for code through dev, test, staging and prod environments
• Tailoring releases to each clients feature and testing needs
• Coordinating bi-weekly and monthly releases
• Managing risks, scope, schedule and quality of releases
• Implementing push-button, zero-downtime deploys
• Automating git reviewing and reporting
• Coordinating test resources
• Leading remediation strategies
• Leading post-mortem reviews
• Developing scripts to continuously build, deploy, and update software and environments
