Skills

Analytical Thinker

  • Built a standalone app for the Audit team using React/Redux front end with Java 8 Spring backend. Got familiar with concepts of Kafka streams, docker, Postgres DB and AWS

  • As a trained Engineer I always look for opportunities to automate any manual tasks. In my role as Test Automation Engineer I enjoyed automating the end to end testing cycle including Continuous Integration(Jenkins), test automation(Python + Robot Framework) and result generation(HTML/CSS/Jenkins).

  • I also extended my role into DevOps by migrating our Test Infrastructure from VMWare ESX to McAfee Cloud(VRealize Automation).

  • I achieved 98% test automation, 80% code and functional coverage for Threat Intelligence component in all of McAfee Enterprise and Consumer Products.

Leadership

  • I led sprint planning, backlog grooming, product roadmap through daily stand ups to focus on delivery and value to the customer iteratively.
  • I was responsible for a team of 10 to build, test and release anti-virus updates for various McAfee products globally everyday.
  • I co-founded womenhackfornonprofits.com, a social enterprise for women in tech to build free open source software for charities around the world.

Excellent Team Player

I thrive working in a team. I always go out of my way communicate openly with others and have a good relationship with all my team members.

  • In my current role, I established a relationship with SMEs to gain domain knowledge quickly. I also engaged with product owner/customers to get quick feeback of our features.
  • As a team we decided and followed Continuous Delivery approach to release frequently. We worked in small iterations on the next most valuable feature for the customer
  • In my previous role as a Software Quality Engineer I always volunteered to mentor Work Experience students and Interns. I learnt a lot from pair programming with them.
  • I wrote my tests along with the developers so that the tests are ready when the feature is complete. This saved 2 sprints worth of backlog and technical debt.
