  Bootstrapped the automation efforts for all of Yohana’s and PanasonicWell’s products. This automation framework drove web, mobile and hardware clients at once to replicate complex multi-client use-cases. This resulted in automating 18% of all P0 test cases across 6 projects in five months, and reduced manual test efforts by 20+ hours per regression run. Developed a remote test execution server that ran on python and flask to support running automation as part of developer pull-request checks to block code from being merged in on test failure. Also developed tooling to use this same automation framework to act as canaries and monitor the state of internal shared test environments. Designed a graph-based, automation tool capable of generating 100% of tests automatically for use with appliances and back-end web applications. Developed an Elasticsearch reporting solution that provided dashboards to report on individual test passes, the current health of developer repositories, the state of test environments, and historical trends on key test metrics. Created SDET Automation training for parent global corporation, resulting in a 3+ month training course for three separate business units, accelerating multiple business units' development pipelines from manual only testing to full continuously-integrated pipelines.
