• Designed and automated end-to-end API tests for Flow Network Security (FNS), a distributed virtual networking and security solution involving OVS and OVN components.
• Developed Python SDKs and contributed extensively to internal test automation frameworks, improving scalability and reusability across multiple feature teams.
• Created and maintained automated test suites, covering scenarios such as feature validation, system stability, performance, and negative testing; integrated into regression pipelines to ensure consistent release quality.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to triage issues, analyze logs, and debug complex failures in distributed virtualized environments.
• Embraced a shift-left testing approach and actively advocated for automation-first strategies to reduce manual effort and improve test coverage across the product.
• Gained hands-on experience with tools such as Docker, Linux internals, and RESTful APIs; eager to dive deeper into large-scale system testing and AI infrastructure.
• Scale Tests: Simulated customer environments and conducted scaled API testing to ensure performance under concurrent conditions.
• Performance Tests: Ensured API performance remained under ~200ms in scaled-out environments, even under concurrent API calls.
• Negative Tests: Conducted tests during system upgrades, service restarts, and node failures to validate system stability.
• RBAC Tests: Verified API functionality across various user permission settings.
• Global System Level Verifications: Ensured no FATALs, crashes, or unwarranted resource usage, and validated system integrity through extensive checks.
• System Level Workflows: Managed and verified complex system-level workflows, capturing critical performance metrics such as CPU, memory, and pod usage.
