• Amazon Ring Devices:
• Directed complex test planning and validation for two large-scale security certification initiatives, addressing multi-component quality risks and applying risk-based strategies that uncovered 7 critical issues early in the cycle and enabled defect-free production releases.
• Integrated GenAI tools (Amazon Q, Cline) into the automation workflow, enabling rapid generation of boilerplate code, faster refactoring, and AI-assisted review, resulting in 5× faster automation development while maintaining test reliability and coding standards.
• Served as QA Release Owner for six quarterly firmware releases, owning release sign-off, build validation, and test strategy design. Collaborated and managed stakeholder alignment and performed system validation and performance testing to ensure firmware reliability for customer deployments.
• Developed custom Python-based QA tools (OTA Updater, ASIN Data Store) that enhanced automation efficiency by 90% and streamlined dynamic test data management.
• Proactively prevented defects by practicing shift-left testing-reviewing requirements, validating acceptance criteria, and engaging early in design discussions-leading to 59 issues resolved during and early in the QA Phase, significantly reducing production escape risk.
• Built custom quality dashboards visualizing test coverage, defect trends, defect density and automation health by aggregating CI/CD execution data and defect metrics, enabling data-driven identification of coverage gaps and release readiness across multiple features and improved triage efficiency by 30%.
• Mentored a cross-functional team of 2 QA Engineers and 4 Quality Associates on automation tools, test design techniques, and best QA practices to drive testing consistency and scalability.
