Work Experience
Senior QA Engineer / SDET
A(U · Oct 2024 – Present
- Leverage AI workflows (Cursor/Claude) to accelerate transitions between test automation, backend delivery, and native mobile development while aligning with engineering standards.
- Migrated a core feature from legacy UIKit to modern SwiftUI. Collaborated with the iOS Lead to adhere to the Design System, extended components within the custom UI framework, and passed a code review for a 13k-line Pull Request (comprising production code and unit tests).
- Partner with PMs on PRDs to take over, finalize, and deploy business-critical backend features. Assumed ownership of the final 10% of development for automated Price Alerts and Token Recommendations after a team transition, managing production release syncs and tracking live logs for a zero-error rollout.
- Collaborate with product and dev teams to relaunch the "Boost" yield platform. Contributed to the design of internal configuration utilities that unblocked marketing and business teams from launching campaigns independently.
- Partner with Infra/DevOps to eliminate hardcoded credentials across a legacy 7k-test backend framework. Engineered the Java automation layer from scratch to dynamically consume secure keys provisioned within AWS Secrets Manager.
- Orchestrate the migration of the backend test suite from Jenkins to GitHub Actions. Upgraded the framework from Java 8 to Java 23, containerized the execution layer using Docker, and worked with infra to validate runner security compliance, lowering execution time to 20–30 minutes.
- Spearhead the quality strategy alongside the Exchange squad for the "Multi Purchase" tool, verifying complex multi-order book executions and single-transaction crypto bundling.
QA Engineer
a previous company · Sep 2023 – Oct 2024
- Leverage ChatGPT Pro and GitHub Copilot to optimize development velocity, accelerate test script refactoring, and debug complex automation bottlenecks.
- Manage quality for a complex financial platform used by major US banks (Amex, PNC), where regressions impact a massive client base simultaneously.
- Share ownership of a 5,000+ test regression suite per client, ensuring the technical integrity of the high-volume EnCompass payment engine.
- Develop a custom orchestration script using Azure APIs to fetch and parse failure metrics into actionable CSV reports, cutting regression analysis windows from 3 days to just 1.
- Integrate Polly.core retry policies precisely targeted at granular HTTP/Selenium steps rather than full tests, preserving suite execution speed.
- Partner with DevOps during multi-region DR failover drills; execute automated suites post-traffic redirection to validate system health and RTO/RPO compliance.
Software Tester / Quality Assurance
CS(R · May 2021 – Sep 2023
- Deeply explore project repositories to master codebase structures, rapidly transitioning to independently drive complex QA demands and move from junior to mid-level responsibilities within six months.
- Spearhead quality initiatives for the core Payments and Credit areas of a major Brazilian retail platform (Lojas Renner), validating high-stakes features like credit engines, private-label card integrations, and sensitive user data.
- Partner actively with Backend developers to safely break down legacy monolithic architectures into modular, decoupled microservices using Java. Ensure zero production regressions and verify that new services run and scale completely independently.
- Design and engineer a robust, on-demand Java utility script to automate complex financial user test data generation, slashing manual front-end setup times from 8 minutes down to seconds.
- Accelerate front-end testing timelines by implementing WireMock to simulate and validate UI components against backend contracts before live backend engineering is completed.
- Maintain and expand dual-layer automation pipelines, building backend suites using Java, RestAssured, Allure, and Cucumber via Jenkins, alongside mobile test coverage using Cucumber, Appium, and BrowserStack across Azure DevOps.
- Integrate early workflows with Gemini, ChatGPT, and GitHub Copilot to optimize test script refactoring, accelerate data mapping, and streamline test case writing in BDD Gherkin.
