I'm a Senior SDET with 5+ years building test infrastructure that scales — from manual QA and test planning through full automation, CI/CD quality gates, and observability. My specialty is healthcare and data-heavy platforms, where correctness isn't cosmetic — it's revenue and compliance. I work across the full QA spectrum: writing test plans and filing detailed bug reports, testing REST APIs directly via Swagger and browser console, building Playwright suites from scratch, and designing CI pipelines that catch defects before they reach production. Recent work: — Currently embedded with a healthcare data products company, building QA coverage for billing and claims data pipelines. This work sits at the intersection of data quality, API validation, and healthcare domain rules (CPT codes, payer logic, denial workflows) — an area where most automation engineers don't have domain depth. — Sole QA engineer for a luxury e-commerce marketplace during their pre-launch sprint. Built the QA process from zero: structured test plans, payment flow validation (Stripe, 3DS), end-to-end offer/negotiation testing (API + UI), 15+ prioritized Jira bugs, and real-time fix verification with frontend/backend engineers. Core purchase, offer, and checkout flows validated for soft launch within two weeks. What I bring to your team: Manual QA and exploratory testing — structured test plans, detailed bug reports with reproduction steps, prioritized by severity API testing — REST endpoint validation, Swagger, Postman, contract testing with JSON Schema and Pact Test automation — Playwright (UI, API, E2E), Python, TypeScript, Robot Framework Data quality testing — SQL-based validation, pipeline verification, healthcare billing datasets CI/CD quality gates — GitHub Actions, AWS Lambda, Azure DevOps Observability — Postgres, Grafana dashboards, Slack alerting for test health Deep domain experience in healthcare billing (I spent two years inside a medical practice before engineering, and founded ClaimReady, a pre-submission claim validation engine) — so I bring both engineering depth and product-owner perspective to QA work. Tech stack: Playwright • Python • TypeScript • Robot Framework • GitHub Actions • AWS Lambda • PostgreSQL • Grafana • Docker • REST APIs • Postman • Jira • Pact • JSON Schema Certifications: AWS Certified DevOps Engineer (DOP-C02) • Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204) • ISTQB CTFL I work independently, communicate proactively, and document everything so my work outlasts my engagement.

I help businesses find the compliance gaps hiding in their documents and data — before they become expensive problems. 14 years of QA experience. I validate that your documentation is complete, accurate, and ready to hold up under scrutiny. What I deliver: - Compliance Document Audits — review your policies and procedures for gaps and inaccuracies - Data Quality Validation — catch errors and inconsistencies in spreadsheets, databases, and reports - Risk & Compliance Gap Assessments — identify missing or outdated documentation with clear remediation steps - Process-to-Documentation Verification — confirm your workflows match what's written down - QA Automation — automated test suites for web apps and platforms, built with Playwright                                                                                      Who I work with: - Small businesses needing compliance documentation review - Tech companies with test automation needs (web apps, APIs, CI/CD pipelines) - Organizations with data quality issues affecting reporting and operations - Anyone with documentation that has "drifted" from actual business processes My difference: QA-grade precision applied to business documentation — specific, actionable findings, not high-level recommendations. Recent: 15+ compliance document reviews, QA automation suites, data validation frameworks.
