Achievements

Motorola Solutions
UI · Security · Database · API & Service-Layer
  • Spearheaded Cypress E2E and Component automation for an AWS hosted SaaS loss-prevention platform spanning video surveillance, appliance management and dashboard reporting workflows, transforming manual regression into scalable release validation that reduced execution time from 3 days to 1 day.
  • Implemented authenticated OWASP ZAP full-scan security automation for AWS hosted applications, integrating GitHub Actions matrix workflows and severity-based quality gates to enforce release controls, identify high-risk vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC and reduce production security exposure.
  • Advanced shift-left quality strategy by partnering with product owners, developers and QA stakeholders to define automation-ready acceptance criteria, align risk-based coverage in TestRail test management, identify high-risk workflows early and establish automation scope before implementation was complete.
  • Developed reusable Cypress automation framework utilities spanning seeded test data, fixtures, authentication helpers, dynamic payload generation, schema validation and test ID-based locators, reducing duplicated test logic while mitigating selector flakiness and improving CI/CD stability across scalable regression coverage.
  • Established AI-assisted Cypress automation standards and enablement assets, including documentation, reusable quick-start tests, MCP workflows, Claude and GitHub Copilot instructions and reusable prompt patterns, accelerating engineer onboarding while standardizing test design and automation practices.
PNC Bank
UI · Database & ETL · API & Service-Layer · Mobile
  • Developed a pytest and SQLAlchemy-based ETL validation harness for payment workflows and financial data reconciliation, replacing spreadsheet-driven checks with automated, version-controlled database tests that decreased manual validation effort while improving auditability and data quality confidence.
  • Embedded SQL-based health checks for payment workflows, inventory synchronization and downstream financial data processes into deployment gates to validate transaction and data integrity before release, prevent downstream defects while maintaining traceability through Jira Xray test management.
  • Contributed to a Dockerized Playwright and Jest automation frameworks integrated with Azure DevOps, standardizing repeatable cross-browser UI and REST API validation across branch and pull-request workflows while improving CI quality gates and release confidence.
  • Expanded UI regression execution with sharded Playwright test runs, isolated runtime environments and CI-published diagnostic artifacts to shorten troubleshooting cycles and strengthen pipeline reliability.
  • Standardized secure test secret management across environments using AWS Systems Manager PS and runtime credential injection, reducing credential exposure and strengthening CI/CD security controls.
Walgreens
API & Service-Layer · Database · Mobile · UI
  • Standardized REST API validation for PHI-sensitive healthcare service workflows across the Walgreens healthcare business unit by building reusable Postman collections, templated variables, masked test data and Newman CLI execution for consistent multi-environment smoke and regression coverage.
  • Introduced WireMock-based service virtualization with de-identified healthcare payloads to isolate third-party dependencies, protect sensitive test data and improve API and service-layer test determinism, stability and CI readiness.
  • Replaced manual service verification managed through Jira Xray with automated API checks, strengthening environment readiness, improving release consistency and minimizing reliance on manual validation.
  • Expanded service-layer automation with Jest and REST OpenAPI-aligned tests to verify new endpoints, changed contracts, response schemas, masked payload handling and negative-path scenarios earlier in the delivery lifecycle.
Bloomberg LP
API & Service-Layer · Performance
  • Built and scaled a Selenium Grid automation framework for Bloomberg Terminal financial-services workflows, implementing self-healing patterns and distributed execution across AWS-hosted EC2 nodes, Dockerized containers and Jenkins CI to support 800+ parallel automated scenarios.
  • Strengthened financial-services GraphQL API quality by developing Jest-based contract test suites with Schema validation to verify stock market data payloads, financial data rules, quote and reference data accuracy and backward-compatible service behavior.
  • Implemented k6 performance test suites covering stress, soak and spike scenarios for business-critical API endpoints, adding threshold-based checks and CI reporting to establish repeatable latency, throughput and error-rate baselines while detecting endpoint regressions earlier.
  • Developed Pact-based consumer-driven contract tests and schema-diff checks in CI to detect breaking API changes early, prevent contract regressions and keep service specifications, downstream web, mobile and backend consumers and backend implementations aligned.
  • Contributed to the provision of ephemeral Kubernetes namespaces in CI for isolated Selenium execution, supporting cross-browser terminal-facing workflows alongside API validation.
  • Enhanced automated test reporting and CI/CD result distribution with ExtentReports delivered through email attachments, NAS storage and AWS EFS to improve test visibility, failure triage and stakeholder access.
Verizon
UI · Performance · Mobile · API
  • Developed automated contract validation for telecom e-commerce inventory SOAP APIs supporting B2C consumer and B2B enterprise channels, using Jest and Schema parser to safeguard response fields, payload contracts and backward-compatibility rules across service releases.
  • Built shared automation libraries for authentication, payload generation, schema validation, network stubbing and test-data setup to standardize validation across checkout, payment and order-management test suites.
  • Implemented repeatable database seed and rollback utilities for checkout and order workflows, reducing environment-state dependency and improving regression consistency across end-to-end purchase scenarios.
  • Enhanced distributed JMeter performance tests for HTTP and JDBC workflows, supporting repeatable load validation, baseline comparison and consistent reporting for high-traffic telecom order and payment transactions orchestrated by Taurus and Docker.
  • Delivered a Selenium and Cucumber BDD framework within Jenkins CI using page objects and deterministic waits to validate stable e-commerce flows across product selection, checkout, payment and order submission.
  • Migrated legacy QTP cases to Selenium with stable locators, replacing manual sanity passes with scheduled automation for telecom e-commerce and order-processing workflows.
Home Depot
UI · Database · API
  • Contributed to the Java EE-based internal applications, including Home Depot’s DCX platform, using Spring, Servlets, JSP, MVC architecture, JDBC and Spring Security.
  • Supported legacy and enterprise web applications across Java EE and ASP.NET Web Forms, contributing to maintenance, feature updates and production support activities.
  • Created 200+ C# unit test scripts in Visual Studio using Page Object Model, DataProvider and PageFactory patterns to strengthen automated validation and reduce manual testing effort.
  • Maintained Hudson CI workflows and DevOps batch scripts to streamline builds, deployments and recurring automation tasks.
  • Performed application diagnostics and component-level troubleshooting using JMX, MBeanServer API, JConsole, BeanFactory and ApplicationContext.
