EXPERIENCE
Independent QA Consulting Project Jan 2025 - Present
● UHCO Chatbot
- Contributed to shaping an early-stage test automation architecture for an AI chatbot built on Adobe AEM (Adobe Experience Manager) and AJO (Adobe Journey Optimizer) website and application elements.
Designed a robust framework using concepts of OOP and page object modelling that bridged the gap between the user experience manual testing flows and the granular unit tests.
Automated the flow of user interaction with a chatbot and validated the response included no irrelevant data and redirected the user appropriately when introduced with banned topics.
Reported critical bugs related to leakage of contexts between chatbot instances and provided daily feedback on builds and model training status.
Experimented and reported findings regarding AI integration into daily QA processes: including test case creation, automated test generation and execution, pipeline configuration file generation and bug reporting.
● UHCO Marketing
- Consulted Adobe AEM architect groups regarding automation plans and testing script design for AEM sites.
Incorporated Cypress.js tests into AEM hosted sites, functions and assets, rigorously verifying functionality and flow with automated testing.
Grew the infrastructure in time for Adobe AJO campaign rollouts and ensured timed email delivery was properly sent to customers.
UI/UX manual testing effort was reduced significantly, test cases related to login, navigation and initial prompt and response validation were automated, enabling more specific AI testing to be manually executed.
Joined daily/weekly scrum activities, enabling QA and Dev team coordination when communication could be cumbersome.
QualityWorks Consulting - QA Automation Engineer Aug 2022 - Dec 2024
● Comcast
- Automated both front and back end tests in Cypress.js and Pactum.js while delivering daily reports on scheduled and pull request based test jobs executed within multiple Concourse pipelines.
Wrote critical front end automation tests in JavaScript using Cypress.js with Cucumber framework, built on node.js and reported passes and failures in a custom slack message.

Presented monthly demos on new updates or features of testing suite to directors/development leadership, leading to the adoption of fuzz testing API endpoints.
Designed API automation frameworks using Pactum.js and the K6 performance testing framework, leveraging Kubernetes to host and connect services for scalable, scheduled regression testing. Reports borrowed from similar frameworks as the front end tests and reduced setup and maintenance hours by 30%.
Integrated layers of systems into cloud based testing with a team of 10+ engineers, keeping each one in the loop with clear job-based test reports delivered to their slack channels.
Built headless test execution pipelines on AWS/EKS that generated structured reports distinguishing genuine failures from flaky tests, reducing debugging time for the engineering team.
● Creator+ Corp
- Led manual QA effort for front end application development and implemented agile processes for the larger team.
Executed daily regression test cases on legacy features and reported defects and user facing issues in readable and reproducible bug reports.
Regulated QA tickets within JIRA to streamline tasks assigned and completed by development teams that aided in daily reports of work completed.
Tested mobile applications on IOS and Android devices using both simulators and devices, reducing amounts of customer reported UI defects by 20%.
Implemented cross-browser testing and uncovered 10% more defects related to element rendering throughout the system by using BrowserStack.
● Internal Client Support
- Worked with teams of up to 15 engineers to carry out 1000+ tests daily through manual and automated test case execution.
Executed approximately 300+ automated Playwright regression test cases daily, covering UI, login, and settings configuration test cases.
Manually tested features and functions with hundreds of clear and concise test cases uploaded to a central repo daily, further increasing team communication on status of application with use of Test Runs.
Provided rigorous reports on status of runs, builds and any current defects with all business risks highlighted that could prevent the user from experiencing the application as intended.
