Mid-level QA/SDET Automation Tester specializing in UI, API, mobile, and cloud testing

Houston, TX5y exp

“SDET focused on end-to-end quality for web applications, owning UI/API/regression automation from framework design through CI/CD integration. Notably prevented a production payment/checkout incident by adding API validations that caught incorrect tax calculations (rounding logic) during CI before release, and has a track record of stabilizing flaky Cypress tests via robust selector and wait strategies.”

“Built a healthcare app backend and supporting product pieces from scratch for Maverick Health—covering database schema, API structure, Node.js implementation, and UI design in Figma—while targeting 10,000 patients and keeping AWS run costs to ~$20–$30/month. Shipped an Android closed beta on Google Play and handled real-world launch hurdles like privacy policy compliance and push notification infrastructure.”

“Backend/data engineer who built a production booking platform on FastAPI microservices (Postgres/Redis/gRPC) and delivered AWS infrastructure spanning Lambda, ECS, SQS, and Glue-to-Redshift analytics. Demonstrated measurable SQL optimization (10 minutes to <40 seconds) and strong operational ownership through monitoring, incident response, and schema-evolution hardening.”
