The marathon continues š
ā§ Spearheaded design and influenced development of Skillz' first REST API test automation framework in Ruby and Node.js, exemplifying object-oriented and DRY principles.
ā§ Majority contributor of Ruby REST API automation scripts, culminating in 100% coverage of smoke test endpoints delivered ahead of schedule, reducing weekly manual testing hours from 20 to 1 over a six month period.
ā§ Introduced error handling hooks and improved logging in code to pinpoint causes of server bugs, streamlining communication across engineering teams during time-sensitive deployments and development cycles.
ā§ Developed Dockerized solution of Selenium tests for Skillz web services on Jenkins servers, eliminating potential environment failures during test running, resulting in increased deployment agility.
ā§ Strengthened company-wide test case writing process throughout 10+ major feature releases by providing structured template, in addition to coordinating input and revisions from stakeholders and developers in establishing each feature's source of truth.
ā§ Mentored interns and new hires with hands-on support, providing coding exercises relevant to team's tech stack and guidance with troubleshooting, inspiring and cultivating their talents into meaningful contributions.
ā§ As the first and only test engineer hired at the company, researched and implemented the first automated test suite for the IP Shark platform using Selenium, Python's Unittest framework, and MySQL.
ā§ Optimized 100+ automated Python scripts for admin and user role test cases to be run headlessly in a Docker cloud instance, saving developers 1-2 hours of manual testing per week.
ā§ Built out sitewide performance tests with easy-to-read results, allowing prospective and current clients to measure IP Shark's service against competitors.
ā§ Pioneered the 1st year of Code Nation (then ScriptEd, Inc.) education at Skyline High School, equipping a class of students in an under-resourced school with the fundamental coding skills and professional exposure to a future career in software engineering.
