Sr. Software QA Engineer at CarMax Inc.

October 1, 2022 - January 1, 2026

Implemented and extended a Playwright/TypeScript E2E automation framework, building regression suites focused on critical user journeys and end-to-end system stability across high-volume modernization projects. Validated complex data flows across REST and GraphQL APIs, browser UIs, Azure Cosmos DB, and legacy SQL databases—ensuring data integrity across distributed, cloud-native architectures. Monitored and validated event-driven pipelines using Azure Service Bus Explorer, verifying JSON message integrity through Function App listener-based architectures where event-ordering failures are silent and costly. Partnered with developers to identify testing gaps, complementing unit tests with integration and system-level coverage—contributing to measurably higher build stability across multiple release cycles. Collaborated with Dev Leads and Product Owners from requirements through deployment, identifying coverage gaps and edge cases early in the development lifecycle. Operated in a Kanb
