)
To continue my career path as a Senior Principal Engineer, I joined WebPT, a web-based EMR (Electronic Medical Record) and end-to-end Practice Experience Management (PXM) platform tailored specifically for rehab therapy professionals.
At WebPT, I contribute to the automation of web and mobile applications to accelerate development and deployment processes. After conducting a thorough analysis, designed and delivered a customized framework that supports web-based, API, and mobile application testing. This framework seamlessly integrates with the existing systems and serves multiple projects across the organization.
I also contribute to the implementation of best practices and processes for both manual and automation testing. By collecting and analyzing metrics, I drive continuous improvements in QA processes, enhancing overall efficiency and quality.
Additionally, I am responsible for QA team (Manual/Automation) hiring, training, and staff development for the offshore team, ensuring continuous growth and excellence within the team.
Achievements:
- Build Analytics Dashboard (Reportportal): Analyze legacy test results in real time, give us a high level overview of the tests passed, duration, clustering of defects, where we can start fixing problems with big impact, capability of comparing runs, identify flaky tests
- CI/CD pipeline: Implemented a CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment process by integrating test script execution with each deployment. This approach ensures that any issues or changes in the code are tracked and addressed promptly, improving overall code quality and deployment efficiency.
- Defect Prevention: Introduced Chrome Beta test execution as part of the defect prevention strategy to ensure that no new issues arise due to browser upgrades.
- Fast Feedback on Automation Tests: Reduced test execution duration by over 75% compared to sequential execution through the implementation of parallel test execution.
- Scripts Reliability: Ensured continuous monitoring and maintenance of a pass percentage exceeding 95% for automated tests, reinforcing the reliability of the test suite.
- Upskilling: Successfully trained approximately 8 team members in test automation, equipping them with the necessary skills and deploying them on live projects to enhance team capabilities and project outcomes.

I joined Signant Health to continue my journey as a Test Automation Architect in a different and exciting industry/domain.
Here, I am contributing to the automation of web and mobile applications to accelerate the organization’s development and deployment processes. After conducting a thorough analysis, I designed and delivered a customized framework that seamlessly integrates with their existing systems, supporting multiple projects across the organization.
)
As a Senior Test Manager, I am responsible for hiring, training, and staff development across both onshore and offshore teams. I successfully established the CoE Automation team as a service within the organization and created a streamlined intake and delivery process that involves in conducting extensive R&D and proof-of-concept (POC) evaluations.
In parallel, I served as the SME - Subject Matter Expert for the VAK team (vaardigheden, attitude en kennis in Dutch, meaning Skills, Attitude, and Knowledge in English), where I provided strategic direction on automation practices. My focus included tool harmonization across the organization, enhancing documentation, reviewing and recommending improvements for test reporting and automation processes, and optimizing test execution strategies
)
Here I joined the CoE Automation team, where I initially led efforts in automating and managing multiple mobile products simultaneously. Later, I expanded my focus to include API and web application automation based on product requirements.
Within the organization, several products approached the CoE team seeking solutions to introduce automation testing to accelerate their development and deployment cycles.
I served as a key point of contact, taking responsibility for understanding their requirements, conducting analysis, performing POCs, and providing the most suitable solutions based on industry best practices.
As part of my role, I also coached team members, solved work-related challenges, and conducted internal training sessions, primarily focused on automation.
)
Here I started to work intensively with Selenium, Appium, Java language to implement the automation framework for testing Web & Mobile ( Android and iOS devices) Applications for VMware customers.
)
Starting my career as a QA Engineer in testing Mobile applications on all Qualcomm CDMA chipsets and then as a Test Lead.
Here I've learned how to Design, Develops and execute Tests including common and uncommon use cases, how to do performance testing, stress and stability testing, in order to certify the applications is according to the TRUE BREW Testing Standards.
Involved in creation of Test Plan.
