Five Jars, Brooklyn, NY Front End Developer and Test Automation Engineer
Aug. 2021New York As part of the modernization effort, I designed and developed e-commerce features to enhance the application’s functionality. By translating Figma designs into responsive and interactive front-end components leveraging React.js and Next.js, I built reusable components that adhered to best practices and ensured optimal performance. The integration of APIs was a key aspect of this development, enabling dynamic data flow between the front-end and back-end. By implementing robust error handling and optimization techniques, I delivered a seamless and reliable e-commerce experience.
To ensure the stability and quality of the application, I implemented comprehensive testing strategies. This included front-end testing to validate functionality and usability, as well as back-end testing to ensure reliable API consumption. I conducted detailed quality assurance reviews, including code reviews, unit testing, and API testing, to identify and address potential issues.
To streamline testing processes and reduce manual effort, I developed reusable test automation frameworks for API testing using Cypress. These frameworks automated critical user flows, reducing manual testing by 60% and improving overall efficiency. Additionally, I designed and implemented GUI automation frameworks following the Page Object Model, which reduced manual UI bugs by 50% and increased test reliability.
Collaboration played a significant role in the success of this project. I worked closely with UI/UX designers to review and refine designs, ensuring alignment with user requirements and business goals. Regular feedback sessions and design reviews facilitated seamless communication and ensured that the final product met user expectations.I gained in-depth experience with the software development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, planning, deployment, and release management.
I coached quality assurance teams on testing strategies, including API testing using Postman and automation frameworks.
