Vetted Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) Professionals

“Backend engineer (Marsh McLennan) who evolved a high-volume claims automation pipeline in Python, emphasizing thin APIs with background job processing, strong validation/retries, and production-grade observability. Experienced in secure FastAPI API design (centralized JWT/RBAC), multi-tenant Postgres/Supabase-style row-level security, and low-risk refactors using parallel runs and feature flags; targeting founding-engineer scope roles.”

“QA professional focused on CRM workflow and case management releases, owning end-to-end validation from staging through release readiness. Demonstrated ability to catch critical UI-to-backend mapping defects early using API/DB validation and audit logs, then prevent recurrence by adding automated edge-case tests into CI.”

“QA automation engineer who owned an end-to-end automated regression suite for a PlayStation digital store flow (login through checkout/payment), building a hybrid POM/data-driven framework from scratch with Selenium/TestNG/Cucumber and also using Playwright/TypeScript and Cypress. Integrated the suite into Jenkins CI/CD with nightly runs and reporting, improved coverage (happy + negative paths), and reduced release risk by catching critical issues like session timeout and transaction/payment defects before production.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience across React/TypeScript, Node/Express, and Java/Spring Boot, operating containerized systems on AWS (EKS/ECS/EC2/RDS/S3) with strong observability (CloudWatch/Grafana). Notable for fixing a real checkout/order-placement failure end-to-end by adding frontend submission guards and backend idempotency with Redis + Kafka deduplication, then validating impact via technical metrics and business KPIs. Has also built Kafka-based integrations/pipelines with robust retry/backfill/reconciliation patterns in retail and banking contexts.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an end-to-end real-time engineering dashboard for Medtronic robotic surgical systems, streaming high-frequency sensor/kinematic data via Python WebSockets to a React/TypeScript UI. Differentiates through performance/reliability practices (stable core vs experimental layer, observability, caching) and high-impact 3D visualization + session playback that became part of engineers' regular bench-testing workflows.”

“QA engineer with 11+ years (nearly 12) in IT across financial, healthcare, and telecommunications domains, experienced partnering closely with developers throughout Agile delivery. Strong in building/maintaining living test plans, running smoke/regression on new builds, and driving triage with impact-based prioritization using Jira/TestRail/Confluence; targets $100k+ base with standard benefits.”

“QA automation engineer with hands-on ownership of Selenium (C#) and Cypress (JavaScript) suites, including CI integration in GitLab with PR smoke gating and nightly regressions with JUnit reports/screenshots. Drove a reported ~60% reduction in manual effort, improved suite maintainability through reuse/merging tests, and proactively shaped requirements/acceptance criteria in sprint planning to prevent defects (including claims calculation and server/log-related issues).”

“Worked on a long-running, high-dependency production rollout in financial post-trade systems, delivering trade-booking functionality on post-trade feeds used by multiple downstream teams. Emphasizes cross-team/external-team coordination and extensive testing to avoid disruptions, with additional experience improving application reliability via VPN-based resiliency measures.”

Remote, USA5y exp

“Open-source React dashboard/visualization library maintainer focused on runtime performance and API clarity. Led a significant effort to eliminate severe render lag on large live-updating datasets through profiling-driven refactors (normalized state, memoized selectors) and locked improvements in with CI, linting, and documentation that reduced regressions and improved external contributor onboarding.”

“Full Stack Engineer with hands-on experience owning customer-facing products end-to-end, emphasizing fast iteration via feature flags and risk-based testing for critical user flows. Built TypeScript/React systems with shared types and clean backend layering, and has microservices experience using RabbitMQ to decouple services and manage scale issues like queue backlogs. Also created an internal dashboard for dev/QA to centralize build/test/deploy visibility and iterated on it through lightweight user research and usage metrics.”

“Full-stack engineer who owned end-to-end delivery of a customer-facing financial services web platform and built internal tooling for engineering teams. Strong in microservices and event-driven systems (Kafka/RabbitMQ), distributed transaction management (saga), and production performance/observability—achieving ~40% backend response-time improvement through database and query optimization.”

“Full-stack engineer with enterprise experience at Metasystems Inc.
