Lead a 4-person SDET team while remaining hands-on in automation architecture, internal tooling, and quality process design.

Built and evolved a UI automation framework from scratch that remained stable through multiple frontend technology changes and later adapted to support SaaS product integration with a completely different UI. Recreated the original Selenium-based automation framework in Playwright to support modernization of UI automation capabilities and demonstrate portability of framework design.

Designed and built TESTLAB, an internal platform used by manual QA and SDETs to standardize testing workflows, shorten test turnaround time, reduce context switching, and centralize execution, reporting, and environment operations.

Built and maintained approximately 1,100 UI end-to-end tests across 13+ environments, reducing manual regression workload by about 75% and making automation the primary regression layer.

Created one-click multi-VM environment update workflows and centralized automation reporting used by QA leadership as a primary go/no-go signal for emergency releases and late-breaking defects.

Adapted quickly to new tools and platform workflows in a modern engineering environment.

Worked with Minikube, Kubernetes, Helm, and related deployment concepts to support local development and testing workflows.

Improved testing structure by introducing and standardizing Gherkin-based practices and contributed to a unit testing framework for custom Jenkins libraries.

Sole automation engineer within ESPN Emerging Technologies, supporting automation across Windows desktop applications, web applications, mobile testing, API testing, and broadcast/TV-related systems.

Built automated test coverage for software supporting football, basketball, golf, and other high-visibility sports-related systems.

Created a testing tool for ESPN’s new $2B studio environment to manipulate graphics in a custom 3D world; the tool continued to be used in production workflows for years after I left the company.
