PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Netfortris Culver City, California February 2018 – March 2020 Software QA Engineer
A Quality Test Engineer who verified Netfortris’ Telecommunications Applications worked as designed across all web platforms. Worked on the deployment of software upgrades and hotfixes to verify any issues during Post Production Testing. Specialized in testing of the Mobile App across the Android and iOS platforms and identifying any gaps between the two.
• Responsible for QA sign off for all web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge and Safari. Verified if any regressions occurred when we pushed the new software to our servers. All issues were immediately documented and then escalated to the proper teams to get properly prioritized.
• Was the QA point of contact and Test lead for the Mobile application product. Kept up to date with the latest software versions for either platform while making sure that we also had devices with previous software versions to ensure backward compatibility of the product. Testing was performed in parallel to help quickly identify any discrepancies between the two platforms.
• Created test cases to capture all requirements from the MinimumViable Product Document
(MVP) as the foundation for a test plan to be built upon for the product. I would maintain and add more test cases either from new feature implementation, exploratory testing, or from found bugs.
Boingo Wireless Los Angeles, California July 2014 – February 2018 Software QA Engineer
A Field Test Engineer who validated Boingo's Wi-Fi networks met the quality and the venue’s specific requirements before the service went live. Testing concentrated on identifying and reporting any network issues and at the same time qualifying the End User’s overall experience.
• Responsible for coordinating testing efforts at the venues by setting up escorts and any resources needed to complete the testing by the agreed upon deadline.
• Prior to a venue going live I was responsible for creating a Quality Certification or Release Notes for the project. This document would outline what was fixed and verified in this software release and if there were any compatibility issues, or other known risks. This document would serve as a benchmark that we could compare against with issues seen in the field after the release.
• Worked closely with developers to replicate the test environment in the lab first before we reach the field. Then once in the field we will work closely with the field engineers to identify network problems and get these issues resolved by tracking them in JIRA. Locationlabs Emeryville, California April 2011 –March 2014 Senior Software QA Engineer
A Test Lead for several GPS applications utilized by the IOS and Android platforms across different carriers. Responsible for ensuring quality within the app by constructing the test plan, manually executing test cases, and an overall analysis of the product prior to official launch.

• Conducted daily power consumption testing to validate that the software has met all carrier and modem type requirements in regards to battery life. Tracked power results on a build by build basis to monitor the power improvements or regressions in order to isolate the cause of difference in the power consumption results.
