James Pelton

Founded and served as the lead engineer for Mobile Text Alerts, a high-scale SaaS platform that I eventually grew and sold in a 7-figure acquisition.

My primary focus was on the architectural design and the implementation of a robust QA automation framework to ensure 99.9% uptime for time-sensitive SMS communications. I developed automated testing suites using Python and Selenium to handle complex user workflows, API integrations, and high-concurrency messaging loads.

This project required a deep focus on reliability, where I managed the full testing lifecycle from unit testing to automated regression suites, ensuring seamless deployments for thousands of business clients.

Architected and maintained end-to-end automated testing frameworks for a portfolio of 125+ custom mobile applications using React Native.

Implemented mobile automation suites using Appium and Playwright, achieving 90% test coverage for critical paths like authentication, payment processing, and real-time data syncing.

Integrated automated regression testing into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), reducing production hotfixes by 60%.

Developed custom API testing scripts to validate sports data feeds and back-end integrations for high-performance apps.

Led manual and automated QA efforts for embedded system interfaces within mobile environments, focusing on hardware-software communication reliability.

Managed the full SDLC for client apps, acting as the final gatekeeper for quality and performance standards.

I architected the automated QA strategy for BuildSync, a platform designed to sync critical field data between mobile devices and a centralized cloud dashboard. I developed a comprehensive testing suite using Playwright and Appium to validate real-time synchronization, offline data persistence, and complex user permission structures. My work focused on ensuring 100% data integrity during high-frequency updates, a challenge very similar to high-stakes performance analytics.
