Project history
Designed and built web applications and internal tooling, including test management tools, while continuing hands-on QA work for private clients. Tested web applications across functional, regression, and API levels, and used AI-assisted development to accelerate delivery and keep technical skills current.
Joined as the company's first QA hire and established its QA practices, automation infrastructure, and testing processes from the ground up. Took ownership of QA strategy, architecture, and implementation across multiple projects. Designed and implemented end-to-end Cypress automation frameworks, developed company-critical Cypress plugins, performed comprehensive testing across E2E, API, mobile, performance, load, and security, optimized CI/CD workflows, and supported teams through mentoring and knowledge transfer.
Joined the QA department during the company's early growth and contributed to developing and expanding testing practices. Built and maintained manual and automated test coverage using Selenium, Protractor, and Cypress. Validated backend functionality using Postman, created test plans, managed test cases, tested mobile products, mentored colleagues, trained clients, and participated in client visits and field activities.
