Architected, planned, and built a mobile automation suite from scratch, covering five different versions of Android and iOS apps. Running in Jenkins against local devices and in the cloud with Sauce Labs, the framework automatically generates reports that are easily consumable by nontechnical employees. We had close to 500 test cases across all permutations of our apps, and we used Appium in combination with Cucumber, Ruby, and some other custom-made reporting frameworks.

Evaluated half a dozen tools to produce POCs to share with a client. After presenting the pros and cons for each tool, the client chose to go with ReadyAPI. From there, I built a roadmap covering all stages of work to reach complete coverage of the API under test. After planning the work, I implemented hundreds of tests in a few short months. The test suite runs automatically after every push to master, staging, and production.

Performed an audit on the 12 deployables my team was responsible for to determine how much work would be required to achieve automatic Push on Green, aka continuous deployment. After the audit, I created a project outline that we integrated into our weekly sprint work.

After adding many automated UI and API tests, increasing code quality through automated code style checks, and increasing alerting for the applications, I brought eight of the 12 deployables into a Push on Green state. This drastically increased our deployment velocity.

Built and managed a performance testing team comprising eight members from across all verticals to execute this project. The target of the project was a new version of our hosted WordPress product to offer to 100,000 users across a myriad of 20,000 hosts. I identified and selected KPIs that would give us the best understanding of the system performance. From there, I drafted planning documents and presented them to share with executives. By leveraging Locust, we dynamically deployed performance testing instances to AWS, spread across regions, to simulate actual user interactions.

When I joined the company, there was a TestRail instance with hundreds of test cases in it. Given the responsibility to automate those test cases, I wrote a piece of software that recursively iterated through TestRail to automatically build out code for each test case. This reduced the amount of time to automate tests significantly. We went from no automation to significant coverage in a very short period of time.
