Experience Highlights

QA Specialist
Oct 2024 - Aug 20261 year 9 months
Project Overview

A digital collectibles platform that provides verifiable proof of event attendance through collectibles claimed by attendees into their wallets and issued as ERC-721 tokens. As the sole QA across web and mobile, they built the quality layer from scratch, starting with smoke testing and manual regression before introducing a Synpress end-to-end framework covering wallet authentication, on-chain state, and token minting flows.

Responsibilities:
  • Introduced a structured quality layer across web and mobile products.
  • Established a smoke testing protocol across all products and ran regular manual audits to catch regressions early.
  • Built a comprehensive manual regression test suite from scratch and continuously refined it through weekly execution.
  • Architected and built a TypeScript end-to-end automation framework for Web3-specific flows, including wallet authentication and on-chain state handling.
  • Extended automated test coverage to token minting flows across multiple networks, including Base, Chiliz, Gnosis, Polygon, Mantle, etc.
  • Built a parallel mobile automation suite targeting iOS and generated automated test reports for the team.
  • Served as the sole QA resource across web and mobile platforms, performing functional testing on feature releases and participating in requirements gathering.
  • Built an AI-powered curation service by integrating an LLM via API to perform first-line assessment of submitted POAPs.
  • Built an internal service that automated API-key provisioning and dispatch to approved vendors.

Project Overview

A quantitative fintech platform where users run complex queries over financial data and chain forecasting models together to spot trends, check signals and build forecasts. Came in as the only QA and built the operation from scratch: defect templates, triage workflows, regression checklists and release gates, then automated end-to-end regression against an Angular codebase, first in Cypress and later migrated to Playwright.

Responsibilities:
  • Designed and implemented a structured QA operation from scratch, including defect templates, triage workflows, standardized ticket structures, regression checklists, and release gates.
  • Migrated bug tracking from ad-hoc spreadsheets to structured Jira workflows.
  • Introduced a release-gating process so new features were validated before reaching production.
  • Built and maintained automated end-to-end regression tests executed before every release.
  • Designed and executed functional, non-functional, UAT, and post-production tests across the SDLC.
  • Captured requirements from stakeholders, authored acceptance criteria, and created feature tickets.
  • Authored internal and external documentation including user manuals, technical specifications, and release notes.
  • Built API-level test coverage for REST and GraphQL endpoints to validate data correctness.
