PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Owings Mills, MD

Lead Software Developer

Responsibilities:

• Acted as the Lead Software Engineer for a multitude of process automation tasks.
• Also, on numerous occasions acted as the SCRUM master as the IDS API Service was the first adapter of the agile methodology at the company.
• Implemented an automated testing framework for the first RESTFul only Hazelcast based implementation of the IDS API Service.
• Lead and implemented an Enterprise wide Test Automation Framework (ETAP). The framework which was made up of Gradle based Java projects (layers) following a unique pattern of inheritance and purpose. The framework was to utilize TestNG based TestCases for Integration and Regression testing and TestRail serving as a test aggregator and results visualizer. Finally JMeter/StormRunner were allocated for performance testing.
• Lead and implemented the conversion of the first automated testing implementation, of the IDS API Service, into the newly established ETAP Framework as the first adaptor. The new test automation implementation was also necessary due to the need to adapt to the change in architecture of the IDS API Service (2nd implementation). The new implementation of the service was also more extensive as it was based on Google RPC, a HTTP 2.0 based Java API providing multiple both synchronous and asynchronous SOA invocation mechanisms in the form of REST, Streaming (binary, object to object) and subscription (asynchronous streaming) capabilities.
• Wrote gRPC clients for making REST, Streaming and Subscription based calls.
• Wrote custom generic, fuzzy and application specific testing validators for validations of all aspects of the data returned (Data Types, Length/Size, Values and etc.).
• Wrote business logic Tests cases in the form of 5 layers or boundaries known as the Data Quality tests for each end-point developed.
• The 5 data quality boundaries included tests like matching the SQL with the requirements document. Matching the columns in each table for an end-point with the attributes requeste dint he requirements doc. Matching the data retrieved from a call to an end-point with data retrieved from the underlying RDS using the SQL by first injecting a known record and a couple more.
• Wrote custom loggers including one for logging metrics such as the start, end and total time elapsed for both REST and Streaming calls. The response times were then written for each end-point to a CSV file and then uploaded to a S3 bucket.
• Executed and performed manual testing on a daily basis, before the CT pipeline was fully operational (mainly the “automatic run on a schedule” piece). The tests for the IDS API were ran daily and as new tests were added for every new end-point delivered as part of a sprint. Also, any bugs found as part of each sprint were logged in JIRA and adjusted in the coming sprints for developers to fix.
• Acted as a JIRA admin and created all of the Testing Tasks for every end-point developed per sprint.
• Led and held numerous companywide Demos and Training sessions for the ETAP Framework as well as its adapter project.
• Implemented process automation for Continuous Testing (CI) by implementing a gradle based Java project. Where all the dependencies were pulled from an internally hosted Artifactory instance.
• Implemented process automation for retrieving needed requirements docs from SharePoint via secured HTTPS REST calls.
• Implemented automation for Data retrieval where the rotating credentials were, first, retrieved from Vault using Terraform. To then retrieve the data from the application’s MySQL RDS.
• Acted as a knowledge expert on a multitude of DevOps subjects for the IDS API Service at Confidential due to my very extensive previous experience as a Sr. DevOps Engineer.
• Designed and built automated Provisioning and Continuous Integration (CI) Pipelines for some of the needed artifacts of the IDS API Service.
• Helped interview, select, onboard and eventually educate junior members of the Testing Team.
• Held multiple knowledge share sessions with the development team on the entire ETAP Framework and the IDS API Testing and its CT pipeline. To work as part of an agile project.
• Followed Agile Methodology and participated in daily 15 min SCRUMs with developers and fellow Software Developer En-Tests (SDETs) to understand any concerns or issues and to make sure all the SDETs were on schedule for their deliverables.
• Used AWS console to provision and decommission a multitude of Amazon resources including but not limited to VPCs, TC/MySQL RDS VMs and S3 Buckets.
• Wrote an extensive JMeter performance Test Suite. Which contained randomized groups of tests for the same 11 end-points (currently developed using the new architecture i.e. V2.0 of the IDs API Service). The tests further read in randomized parameter values from a CSV file at runtime. A Unix/Batch script was also provided as a wrapper executor to further parameterize such things as where to run JMeter from. Where to load the JMeter test Suite XML file from. The number of users/threads, per end-point, to simulate in order to fully automate the performance testing process.
• Used the AWS Console and CloudWatch to monitor network traffic on a daily basis as well as when running the JMeter performance Tests.
• Also utilized the AWS Console to analyze the results (along with the New Relic ones) and then monitored the already set Auto-Scaling rules to then also adjust them as necessary.
• Also used New Relic to monitor network traffic on a daily basis as well as when running the JMeter performance Tests. Also, set-up alerts using NRQL and New Relic agents to monitor and alert on such as things as system outage, thrashing, overloading, etc.
• Worked on multiple projects to automate deployments of artifacts via Jenkins & Gradle Pipeline automation plugins to Artifactory.
• Provided daily, nightly & weekend (off hours) production support for the IDS API platform testing.

Environment: Ubuntu Linux, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Docker, TC, Gradle, Maven, Spring Framework, Windows XP/7/10, Windows Server 2012, MySQL Enterprise Edition 5.7, CloudBees, Jenkins, JIRA, JQuery, GIT, GITHub, Visio, UML, Spring TC Server, Amazon AWS, Amazon S3, Vault, CONSUL, Vagrant, Citrix VDI, ServiceNow, Terraform, Artifactory, New Relic, NRQL, CloudWatch, SmartBear SoapUI, JMeter 3.0/3.2, Stormunner, BlazeMeter.
