About

I test things.And I like seeing what's happening underneath.

I work across the full path a request takes - UI, API, and database - currently leading QA through a monolith-to-microservices migration while building out a Python automation framework.

Microservices QA

Leading QA through a monolith-to-microservices architecture transition.

API Testing

REST validation, request/response inspection with Postman.

Performance Testing

JMeter load & performance execution, GCP VM test runs, automated HTML reporting.

Test Automation

Python framework with pytest, requests, and pymysql; TestSigma UI/API scripts.

Data Validation

MySQL querying and data-integrity checks across migration and UI platforms.

Pipelines

Bitbucket pipelines for sanity automation and JMeter runs via a GCP service account.

Debugging & Observability

Browser network logs, Reactotron, and GCP Logs Explorer to trace failures.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with engineering and product teams to understand requirements and make sure all testing aligns with business goals.

Test Documentation

Develop, execute, and maintain test plans, test cases, and supporting documentation.

Defect Management

Identify, document, and communicate software defects clearly.

Product Quality Oversight

Maintain system quality throughout the development cycle, verifying that releases meet requirements and deliver a reliable user experience.

Continuous Improvement

Recommend and implement enhancements to improve software performance, reliability, and overall user satisfaction.

Featured Technical Work

The work I'm most proud of!

A few projects that pushed me technically, made a real impact, and were worth highlighting.

Umpisa Inc.

Microservices Migration QA

Confidential

Leading QA for a project transitioning from a monolithic to a microservices architecture.

  • Owns the test strategy across the monolith-to-microservices transition.
  • Functional validation across the newly split services.
  • Data validation to confirm behavior held after the split.
  • System-level investigation when service boundaries shift.

Performance Testing Automation

Confidential

Bitbucket pipelines that drive JMeter performance runs end to end, on infrastructure the pipeline provisions itself.

  • GCP service account uploads JMeter test plans to a VM.
  • Pipeline triggers the performance run without manual setup.
  • Automated HTML reports generated and linked to Google Chat.
  • Improved load-test efficiency for the team.

Umpisa Inc.

Python Automation Framework

Confidential

An in-progress Python framework built for reuse rather than one-off scripts.

  • pytest as the execution engine.
  • requests handles REST API interactions.
  • pymysql handles MySQL database operations.
  • Growing set of modules for assertions, reporting, and framework utilities.

Production Sanity Automation

Confidential

Pipeline-triggered sanity testing that runs safely against production.

  • Bitbucket pipeline handles test data setup automatically.
  • Executes functional sanity checks on each trigger.
  • Cleans up test data afterward — no residue left behind.

Database Migration Validation

Confidential

Validating that data transformation from source systems into MySQL held up under scrutiny.

  • Test cases built specifically for the migration activity.
  • Source-versus-MySQL comparison for transformed data.
  • Integrity checks formulated as direct MySQL queries.

What I actually look at when testing.

Hover or tap a layer to see how it’s verified.

Standing by

Every layer between the click and the database gets its own verification pass — this is what that looks like end to end.
