PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

CHG Healthcare Jun 2025 – Present

Software Engineer in Test / Senior SDET (Contract) Remote (Midvale, UT)

Tech: Playwright, TypeScript, Claude Code, Cursor AI, Copado, Salesforce, Boomi, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker, AWS (S3, CloudWatch), Google Lighthouse

Built agentic test-generation pipeline: Architected Playwright Page Object automation frameworks using Anti-Gravity tool with Claude Code extensions (project memory + plan mode) — compressed 3-week automation builds to minutes through AI-driven test generation and scaffolding

Engineered dual-mode AI toolchain: Leveraged Playwright MCP (AI-driven browser interaction for live app validation) and Playwright CLI (terminal-based test generation integrated with Git) to produce full E2E, regression, and smoke suites at unprecedented velocity

Deployed self-healing framework: Utilized Cursor AI (Opus/GPT agents) and Claude AI Skills for AI-assisted test planning, smart execution, and self-healing locator repair — reduced flakiness 50%+

Owned QA architecture: Designed and scaled Playwright (TypeScript) framework supporting CHG's legacy monolith modern React/React Native platform migration; validated full E2E flows across Salesforce and Boomi integration layers

Built CI/CD quality gates: Integrated automation into GitHub Actions + Jenkins CI/CD with parallel Dockerized execution; configured Slack/MS Teams reporting for real-time pipeline visibility

Led Salesforce DevOps QA: Led Copado DevOps QA enablement: synced Copado User Stories Git branches multi-env deployments; managed Salesforce metadata versioning, promotions, back-promotions, and Apex validation via Metadata API

Secured API & compliance testing: Automated OAuth 2.0 authentication, dynamic test data pipelines, and REST/GraphQL validation; enforced HIPAA/PHI/PII compliance across all test data handling

Used AWS CloudWatch for distributed monitoring, S3 for artifact retention, and Google Lighthouse for performance baseline validation across all environments

Impact: Reduced manual testing from 60% 30% via production smoke automation; improved deployment reliability across all environments

Walmart / Sam's Club Jan 2025 – Jun 2025

Lead QA Engineer (Contract) Remote (Bentonville, AR)

Tech: Playwright, TypeScript, Python, PyTest, Postman, GitHub Actions, AWS (Lambda, S3, CloudFront), Applitools, Figma API, k6

Owned AI-commerce QA: Validated Walmart's ChatGPT-powered Instant Checkout integration — built Playwright + TypeScript test suites covering token authentication, product recommendations, and payment validations for end-to-end conversational commerce flows

Engineered API validation layer: Designed and executed API automation using Postman Collections and PyTest (Python) for backend REST and GraphQL services handling cart creation, pricing, and user session management across OpenAI and Walmart APIs

Built cloud-native CI pipeline: Integrated test pipelines into GitHub Actions CI/CD with dynamic environment provisioning via AWS (Lambda, S3, CloudFront) for test data management and deployment mocks

Validated performance at scale: Performed load testing with k6 to verify latency between ChatGPT API calls and Walmart order APIs remained within SLA under peak concurrent sessions

Conducted visual/UI sync checks with Applitools and Figma API; maintained design consistency and WCAG accessibility compliance across ChatGPT-embedded purchase flows

Mentored junior QA engineers, led automation demos, and drove adoption of intelligent automation strategies across multiple Walmart QA teams

Impact: Replaced 50–75% of manual regression with intelligent automation; prevented 7+ critical UI/functional defects from reaching production
