Experience

  • Argyle Employment Data Platform QA Lead

    My responsibilities in the company were:
    • Building test automation solutions.
    • Creating the test management process.
    • Hiring other QA engineers, training and knowledge sharing across all dev teams, non-functional testing, and test automation.
