Software Development Engineer in Test at JPMorgan Chase

June 1, 2023 - Present

Architected a scalable, multi-module Java automation framework, leading a migration from Selenium WebDriver to Playwright, enabling cross-application UI validation with parallel execution across development, staging, and production environments. Defined end-to-end test strategy for high-priority financial microservices; built a RestAssured API test suite validating transaction workflows and service-to-service communication. Implemented an automated Oracle SQL validation layer integrated into the CI/CD pipeline to enforce data integrity across API-to-database boundaries, intercepting 12+ critical data-mismatch defects pre-production. Led the full migration of legacy automated tests to a modern Java-based framework, improving execution speed by 35%, eliminating test flakiness, and standardizing test coverage across 150+ end-to-end scenarios. Partnered with platform architects and DevOps to establish shift-left quality practices, embedding automated regression gates at pull-request level

QA Automation Engineer at Apple Inc.

September 1, 2020 - June 1, 2023

Architected and maintained an automation framework using Java, Selenium WebDriver, and Cucumber (BDD), implementing the Page Object Model and Jackson POJOs to reduce code duplication by 40%. Integrated TestNG/Cucumber regression suites into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with stage-gated execution, enabling same-day regression feedback on 300+ test cases and reducing manual QA intervention by 60%. Developed API test coverage with RestAssured and Postman to validate microservice integrations, increasing backend test coverage and catching contract-level defects before UI testing. Led migration from legacy automation tests to a modern Java-based framework, further improving execution speed by 35%.

QA Analyst I/II at Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL)

August 1, 2019 - September 1, 2020

Owned the manual testing lifecycle for an internal multi-tenant admin portal, authoring over 100 detailed test cases and traceability matrices in Confluence to ensure 100% coverage of complex configurations and system preferences. Authored and maintained QA documentation including test plans, strategies, traceability matrices, and defect reports, providing full audit trails for stakeholders. Executed structured manual test executions in production-like environments, validating end-to-end workflows, data integrity, and system integrations — reducing post-release defects by 20%. Automated high-priority smoke tests using Selenium WebDriver and Java with Page Object Model, cutting execution time from 45 minutes to 10 minutes.
