Who I am

I am Sam, Sam I am. A Quality Assurance Engineer with a passion for making technology reliable and user friendly. With a foundation in hands-on experience and continuous learning, I help bridge the gap between technical jargon and users needs.

My Quality Assurance career began in the automotive industry with SmartCo's PartsEye. There, as a Quality Assurance Analyst, I ensured that repairs were completed promptly and met OEMs' stringent quality standards using certified parts. Under the mentorship of my Scrum Master Roula Lonbardi, I've become an expert in Agile methodologies.

From there, I've moved forward to E-commerce with FusionWW. As a Quality Assurance Engineer, I helped in developing a CI/CD-integrated automation framework using all open source technology like Selenium and PyTest. This helped streamline testing and improving overall DevOps sprint efficiency.

Technology’s constant improvements drives me to stay updated with emerging tools while reinforcing my core QA principles. I approach QA advocating for users, collaborating with developers, and working with Product Owners to ensure clarity in every project. I act as a bridge between product and development, ensuring clear communication and alignment so both sides can collaborate effectively.

What I do

I'm a resourceful and creative problem-solver. I've built this site you're on right now by myself to showcase my skills and offer my labor to you. I'm a Dad and a Jack of All Trades with a diverse range of experiences, I excel at tackling projects of all kinds.

My focus allows me to dive deep into complex systems, quickly learning their overall structure to help in identifying inconsistencies and edge cases that others might overlook. I have a unique, outside perspective, enabling me to spot patterns and inefficiencies in workflows that improve overall product quality.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, adapting quickly to new challenges and finding creative solutions to problems. With a natural ability to analyze, troubleshoot, and optimize; I bring a fresh, detail-oriented approach to ensuring top-tier quality in every project.
