WORK HISTORY
Software Quality Engineer @Tandem Diabetes Care
San Diego County, CA, US
At Tandem Diabetes Care, I specialize in the quality assurance of life-critical medical device software, focusing on the T:slim insulin pump and its supporting web and mobile applications. My role involves leading both manual and automated testing efforts across embedded systems and cross-platform user interfaces, with strict adherence to FDA regulations(21 CFR Part 820) and ISO 13485 quality standards.I have performed embedded device testing integrated with Dexcom G6/G7 and Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2/3 CGM sensors, validating real-time data synchronization, insulin dosing logic, and sensor interoperability in simulated clinical workflows. To streamline testing efforts, I developed and maintained robust automation frameworks using Java, JavaScript, Node.js (npm), Appium, TestNG, and Selenium WebDriver, integrated into CI/CD pipelines via Bamboo for consistent and scalable test execution.My responsibilities included creating and executing test cases for functional, regression, API, interoperability, and credit run testing, with a strong focus on replicating real-world patient use scenarios and ensuring system stability, data integrity, and safety. I collaborated with cross-functional teams—including software, clinical, and regulatory stakeholders—to triage defects, assess risk, maintain audit-ready documentation, and ensure compliance throughout development lifecycle using JIRA.I played a key role in root cause analysis, test coverage expansion, and quality metrics reporting, contributing to improved release confidence and significant reduction in post-release defect rates. Operating in an Agile environment, I actively participated in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and continuous test process improvements to support rapid and safe product iterations.This experience strengthened my expertise in regulated device testing, automated healthcare software validation, and end-to-end QA for mission-critical platforms impacting real-world patient outcomes.
