Career Edge

Portrait at the top of a tinted column, work in the main one.

A photograph opens the sidebar, with contact details, skills and languages beneath it, and the whole right-hand column left to your work. The name still leads the page, so the reading order a parser follows is unchanged. This is the layout for a European-style Lebenslauf or CV where the photograph is part of the convention rather than a decoration, and, like any photo layout, the wrong choice for the US, UK, Canada or Australia.

Frontispiece with three different careers in it

Same layout, three other professions, so you can see how it carries a different vocabulary, a different length of history, and a different mix of skills.

Summary

Cut production escapes from 14 to 3 per release by gating merges on a 340-case Playwright suite that finishes in 18 minutes.

•Cut production escapes from 14 to 3 per release across a year by gating merges on a 340-case Playwright suite that runs in 18 minutes.
•Drove suite flakiness from 11% to 0.7% by removing implicit waits and giving every test its own seeded data, which ended the practice of re-running until green.
•Replaced a two-day manual regression pass with an automated gate, giving the team weekly releases instead of monthly ones.
Quality Assurance EngineerJun 2018 – Feb 2022
Cartogram · San Francisco, CA
•Built the contract tests between six services with Pact, catching 19 breaking API changes before they left a feature branch.
•Set up load testing with k6 and found the connection-pool ceiling that would have failed at the Black Friday volume the team had forecast.
