Experience

1. Senior Software Qa Engineer

   Wells Fargo

   May 2023 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US

   As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) at Wells Fargo, I designed and implemented a BDD testing framework using Cucumber and JUnit, increasing automation efficiency by 50% through reusable code, streamlined test maintenance, and reduced manual efforts. I create and execute detailed test plans and scripts with Java and Gherkin, ensuring robust functionality and an optimal user experience.Applying a three-layered approach to end-to-end testing, I utilize Selenium WebDriver for UI testing, Rest-Assured for API validation, and JDBC for database interactions, achieving extensive coverage across the software stack. I perform manual API testing for CRUD operations with Postman and Swagger, automating test cases with Rest-Assured and POJO for reliable data validation.I focus on process improvements by integrating the Page Object Model (POM), centralizing web elements to simplify test maintenance. My work encompasses Sanity, Smoke, and Regression testing, using PostgreSQL and SQL queries to manage test data. I support CI by embedding automated tests in Jenkins pipelines, accelerating feedback cycles and deployment processes.In Wells Fargo’s Agile environment, I leverage JIRA for project tracking and Confluence for documentation, collaborating closely with DevOps and cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and ensure seamless software delivery.
