Project history
Design, develop and maintain automated test solutions using Cypress and TypeScript across web, API and complex integration workflows. Maintain and improve the Cypress automation framework including custom commands, reusable helpers, database tasks, fixtures, test-data generation and refactoring. Develop automated REST and SOAP API tests covering functional behaviour, authentication, headers, error handling, idempotency and payload validation. Build end-to-end integration tests combining API interactions with PostgreSQL and Oracle operations. Test a distributed enterprise ecosystem comprising 20+ services and multiple third-party integrations across several QA, staging and test environments. Contribute from requirements analysis and test design through automation and defect investigation; perform code reviews and work with GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
Worked on a customer-facing digital automotive financing platform supporting end-to-end vehicle financing journeys. Developed Cypress and TypeScript E2E automation for web applications complemented by REST API testing using Cypress and Postman. Owned QA activities for a dedicated product area including test design, manual/exploratory testing and decisions on automation coverage. Collaborated directly with the client on test-data preparation and UAT, validating customer journeys against downstream banking systems. Contributed to accessibility testing with Lighthouse and used Azure DevOps for requirements, test cases, source control, code reviews and CI/CD.
Owned the QA strategy and overall testing activities for a web-based inventory management system as the sole QA engineer within the product team. Developed GUI end-to-end automation using Cypress and TypeScript and performed manual testing of the connected Android inventory application. Validated workflows and integrations across web, mobile, internal ORDERLORD/REEF applications and external delivery platforms including REST API testing with Postman. Worked closely with developers and the Product Owner in a fast-paced product environment, independently determining test scope and automation priorities.
