SKILL SETS AND INTERESTS:

    • QA Test Engineer with over 16 years experience. Blackbox testing, unit testing, performance/stress testing. Test automation and automating manual test cases (there is a difference ).
    • Scripting Languages: Python, TCL/Expect, BASH shell and various GNU utilities (vi, grep, find, sed/awk, etc.)
    • GUI Automation and Test Tools eggPlant, Selenium, TestComplete, JMeter
    • Cloud/Virtualization Amazon Web Services, Oracle VirtualBox, VMWare
    • Linux I've used various flavors over the years - - Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS, Slackware. For the past decade or so, I've been running Ubuntu at home, having migrated from Slackware. It's so much easier using apt-get to install things without having to compile from scratch and getting bogged down in resolving dependencies.
    • Creating micro-blogging sites -- primarily to learn back-end web technologies and LAMP stuff, but now mostly just for fun and to keep online stalkers apprised of my whereabouts

WORK EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Lead Test Automation Engineer 

Responsibilities:

Contract position through confidential. I wrote a number of scripts and libraries using a tool called eggPlant to automate a simulated full day of operations at a Pizza Hut restaurant. I put together an order entry script that iterated through their various menu items and placed random orders. It was an enjoyable challenge to work on. Their Back of House systems run on Ubuntu and their applications (something called SUS and FMS) -- horribly antiquated and largely obsolete -- require users to traverse various menus and GUI screens, making it near impossible to use more traditional scripting languages, like Python or TCL/Expect.

Production Support Specialist

Responsibilities:

Contract position through Apex Systems. Member of Financial Services production support team (FS TOC Pod) tasked with providing 24/7 production support to Confidential 's auto finance and home loans lines of business. This position was described as a "scripting engineer" opportunity where I would assist in automating Confidential 's migration to Amazon's cloud infrastructure (AWS). In reality, I spent most of my time validating websites and databases and sitting on conference calls assisting development in identifying root cause. A very challenging place to work. Learned a lot during my short time here, especially in all things related to the cloud and AWS. Every day felt like going to war.
