Software Testing Team Lead

Lynked Inc

Owns the release pipeline end to end and the test programme behind it: a 10-suite REST programme, a Playwright for Java suite with PostgreSQL assertions, page-object Selenium sanity suites, and AI QA infrastructure on Claude Code.

• › Own the release pipeline end to end (staging validation, RC creation, container promotion, migrations and production deploys) across 25+ consecutive releases, and publish customer-facing release notes for each
• › Mapped a 647-route, 107-controller API surface and built a 10-suite REST test programme on a shared core library — ~900 tests across 179+ routes from a single regression repo
• › Found 31 security and access-control defects through the API suites, including SQL injection, auth bypass, IDOR and cross-tenant data exposure. Measured a permissions gap: 47% of gated code paths (332/707) rejected every user
• › Built a parallel-safe Playwright for Java suite that asserts both UI and persisted PostgreSQL state — 248 tests passed 3 consecutive runs; reconnaissance found 6 defects on day one
• › Rewrote the vendor and client Selenium sanity suites into a page-object design and eliminated 330+ hard-coded sleeps; the vendor suite runs daily headless with Allure trends and Slack alerts
• › Represent QA in architecture and sprint planning. Run point on live P1 incidents and feed root-cause findings back into the regression suite
• › Mentored the team through the company's first mobile-responsive release (zero defects) and produced a 9-episode DevOps training series for QA

• › Production data-repair runbooks rehearsed against restored production copies, with go/no-go gates and rollback checks (730 meter points, 1,450 CTs)
• › claude-autopilot — systemd-supervised harness running 16 concurrent headless Claude Code sessions; 326 autonomous runs to date
• › 26-command AI SDLC pipeline in Claude Code with human sign-off gates, adversarial reviews and automatic Jira sub-task updates — delivered the API and E2E programmes
• › Jenkins plugins in Java 21: env-portal (self-serve test environments, rolling out company-wide) and Autopilot Console (live control of AI sessions)
• › Read-only multi-database Postgres MCP server (28 tests) plus guardrail hooks that block destructive git operations by AI agents

Software Testing Specialist

Lynked Inc

Built the company's first Selenium WebDriver sanity suite from scratch and, as the only QA on the platform, owned 100+ releases while production went from 3–5 incidents per week to zero over 18 months.

• › Built the company's first Selenium WebDriver sanity suite from scratch, cutting the QA cycle from 6 hours to 45 minutes and unlocking weekly releases
• › Drove production from 3–5 incidents per week to zero over 18 months by combining Selenium automation, Grafana monitoring and release discipline into a single pipeline
• › Owned 100+ releases as the only QA on the platform, including a major version migration, through a container-based runbook: RC builds, registry promotion, migrations and multi-client deploys
• › Designed an automated product-data validation suite that took a 4-day manual QA cycle down to under 10 minutes
• › Sole QA owner on the procurement and factory modernization, validating the full legacy-to-current product overhaul without a production rollback on a business-critical workflow
• › Validated the monolith-to-microservices migration and Ubuntu Dockerization as QA owner, with no production incident
• › As QA grew from a solo role into a team, onboarded and mentored junior QAs, moving them from execution to ownership
• › Partnered with Support and Operations on triage and root cause analysis, sustaining a sub-2-hour P1 response SLA
