QA Automation Developer in Cartago, Costa Rica

As a software development engineer in test (SDET), I automated hundreds of tests in several layers such as UI and API. I also designed and implemented frameworks from scratch using Protractor and Cypress.io. The team needed additional training in JavaScript and different frameworks, so I prepared and provided training sessions covering JavaScript, TypeScript, promises, arrow functions, design patterns, etc. In addition, I included frameworks in the CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and Docker. Also, I created a Node.js package to interact with a Zephyr Scale's API and report Cypress.io results from GitLab CI to Zephyr.

I participated in the organization and contributed to a couple of QA boot camps in manual technical quality assurance (QA) and QA automation as a trainer focusing on teaching JavaScript. The lectures included, among other topics, discussions on JavaScript basics, callbacks, arrays, and promises. Additionally, my co-worker and I also gave a talk about CI/CD in Spanish.

This healthcare software is a medical system that interacts with medical care providers, specialists, and patients through a referral and electronic consultation form. It facilitates and makes patients' consultations better and faster, even if they are from remote places.

I rebuilt the client's trust in us by defining a new QA process and including a new GitFlow that helped us provide faster and more reliable results. This new process helped foster better communication between the QA and development teams and a move to a better CI/CD environment. The pipeline was initiated in Jenkins and finished in Jira with charts showing test results. This facilitated the product owner's decision-making process.

In addition, as a QA automation lead, I coached the other QA automation engineers in the team to help them improve their skills. The client ended up being more than satisfied with the work done.

Security information and event management (SIEM) is a software solution dedicated to monitoring devices, networks, and organizations. I contributed to creating a new automation framework from scratch using JavaScript and Nightwatch.js. I proposed and helped implement the framework's infrastructure using known design patterns such as page objects and bot style tests.

Automotive dealerships use a customer relationship management (CRM) process to keep track of every transaction made by clients and employees. This app handles many tasks, from contacts and calendar events to complex dashboards showing processed sales data and creating dynamic graphs.

I was part of the core team that designed and implemented the automation framework using Capybara with RSpec as the app was written using Ruby on Rails, which provided a better and easier integration. Then the client wanted to have cross-browser coverage, so I contributed to an investigation which led us to propose Sauce Labs services. Finally, I worked on integrating such a service with our automation framework.

As a result, the client decided to grow our team and I became a coach to the new team members on the project and in the process.
