# Greg Blotzer > Software professional, tinkerer, learner Location: Greater Boston, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/gregblotzer I come from an automation-first QA background, but for the last several years I have spent time at work and on my own increasing my knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, internal tooling, and more recently Generative AI with the goal of applying these skills to roles where the focus is enabling teams instead of product testing. I’m especially interested in how AI services and agents can improve deployment pipelines, diagnostics, internal tooling, and release confidence. Courses and programs I have completed on this learning adventure can be found on my profile. Most of my more recent courses have been geared towards AWS. Currently based near North Cambridge and I don’t have a car so I would only be open to hearing about 100% remote work or offices that are public transit accessible (particularly along the red line) or slightly west of Cambridge along the Fitchburg commuter line. I am not open to relocation. Please note: these distance requirements are a deal breaker. I can not entertain offers outside my commuting range. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer in Test III @ TraceLink Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 Built and maintained test automation frameworks using Java, JavaScript, Selenium, Playwright, and Cypress. Most automation was written in Java with Selenium and then later Playwright for front end automation. I worked on the Cypress/JavaScript project with front end developers so that we could more thoroughly test permutations of user configurable web components. Configured Bitbucket repositories for test automation projects owned by my team, as well as Jenkins jobs for building the projects (successful PR builds were a merge requirement) and running the tests in the project. As a member of a team with a different release cadence than the rest of the platform I was often in charge of deploying new builds to lower environments (initially as a handful of Jenkins jobs and terminal commands, then later using more automated tooling) and being on the production deployment calls to support deployment of my team’s apps. Conducted root cause analysis of issues in test and production environments using Kibana, Grafana, kubectl, and Postman. Sometimes this involved reading through logs in AWS CodeBuild. Mentored junior teammates and onboarded new hires, fostering knowledge sharing. Collaborated with engineers, peers, and manual QA to ensure robust test coverage for high-value services. Managed the lifecycle of work items in JIRA and resolved any issues from nightly automated test suite runs. Conducted code reviews for test automation belonging to my team and actively participated in code reviews for common framework code ### Software Engineer in Test II @ TraceLink Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 ### Quality Assurance Automation Engineer @ True Fit Corporation Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 Developed and maintained BDD tests in Python using Behave and Gherkin. Performed automated integration testing of platform services and validated results using PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Created a Jenkins pipeline with Groovy that used test data to validate steps in long running data analytics jobs. Documented test strategies, test plans, and scenarios for internal use. Participated in code reviews in coordination with team members to maintain quality standards. ### Quality Assurance Technical Analyst @ Harvard University Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 Enhanced existing Python/Selenium automation for internal projects. Worked with manual testers to generate test cases for automation and address any automation related issues that were encountered. ### Software Development Engineer in Test @ Nanigans Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 Assisted in building an automation framework in Python (3.4) that initially ran integration tests against our API servers - some Selenium tests for the web product were added later. Supported the functional test effort for a weekly release cycle in an Agile environment. ### Software Development Engineer in Test @ WB Games Boston Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Greater Boston Worked in C# to write integration tests for SOAP (request/response) and WCF web services. Created a test support library to assist team with automated testing. Provided input on code standards and testing best practices. ### Associate SQA Engineer @ WB Games Boston Jan 2012 – Jan 2013 Worked in C# to write integration tests for SOAP (request/response) and WCF web services. Used Selenium web driver to automate web site to supplement web service testing/data validation. Occasionally validated service calls manually using SOAP UI Pro. ### Automation Engineer @ Electronic Arts Jan 2009 – Jan 2011 Created and maintained automated test scripts using mainly C#. Made use of C++ and SQL as needed to hook the scripts up with game code. ### CAT Lab Assistant @ Electronic Arts Jan 2008 – Jan 2009 Supported the QA department by adding users to bug tracking databases, setup databases for new projects, and replaced hardware (PC's, monitors, TV's, VCR's) as needed. ### QA Tester @ Electronic Arts Jan 2008 – Jan 2008 Tested EA Sports titles and entered defects found into a DevTrack database. Performed regression tests for defects marked as fixed on new builds. Performed standards testing for Microsoft and Sony game submissions. ## Education ### AA in General Studies Seminole State College of Florida ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/gblotzer --- Source: https://flows.cv/gregblotzer JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/gregblotzer/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-31
