Professional Experience
Solution QA Engineer | Toppan Security Apr 2025 – Present · Remote
Built GUI automation suites in Playwright and pytest from the ground up, delivering scalable sanity-test coverage for web-based identity solutions. Engineered load-testing frameworks in Python and Locust to simulate production-scale traffic and validate system performance limits. Led end-to-end quality validation across Mobile, Web, and Executable platforms for Identity Management products. Leveraged Amazon Q and Claude Code as AI-assisted tools to accelerate test creation, automate coverage analysis, and streamline development workflows.
Solution QA Engineer I | HID Global Mar 2020 – Apr 2025 · Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Owned full-cycle software quality for Identity Management solutions across mobile apps, web portals, and embedded executable systems — serving government and enterprise clients globally. Developed Python automation scripts that replaced manual regression workflows, reducing test execution time and human error. Built and maintained virtual Jump-box environments enabling secure, distributed hardware access for developer teams. Configured and validated hardware/software stacks for passport issuance systems deployed to government clients. Acted as technical liaison across engineering, product, and deployment — defining acceptance criteria, triaging defects, and coordinating releases.
Systems Engineer — Thor Program | Crossmatch (HID) Mar 2018 – Mar 2020 · Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Built Python + SQL/MySQL tooling for image processing, data analysis, and database management — eliminating manual workflows and improving data integrity across large-scale biometrics deployments. Designed and deployed a fully air-gapped mobile network for on-site biometrics collection events, including server infrastructure and multiple client stations. Developed a C# web application managing scheduling for 200+ volunteers across collection events. Wrote a C# automation tool integrating the DYMO printer SDK to generate barcode and name-tag badges for participant groups. Managed database quality control and integrity for multi-station biometrics deployments.
Software QA Engineering Intern | Crossmatch Mar 2018 – Oct 2018 · Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Executed functional and integration testing across ArcID modules, documenting defects and working with engineers toward resolution. Validated biometric sensor compatibility with a new web interface across diverse hardware configurations. Revived and extended a legacy HP UFT (VBScript) automation suite to align with ArcID's updated UI, meaningfully expanding automated coverage.
