Dec 2025 – Present Current Role
TypeScript Playwright Cloudflare Workers GitLab CI/CD AWS S3 Zod JSONata
Flow Marketplace E2E Test Framework
Built TypeScript + Playwright E2E framework from scratch — validates data migrations across 38 platforms and 58+ active listings against real accounts.
Auto-selects migration execution path from source config — file-based (CSV → S3) or API-based (OAuth sync + push jobs), enabling new pairs via a single config file.
Schema-driven Zod contract layer auto-generates fake records, applies live JSONata rules, and validates output — no manual fixture maintenance.
Built structured test observability — per-migration pass/fail reports and expected-vs-actual error summaries enable fast triage without reading raw logs.
Slack bot on Cloudflare Workers triggers GitLab CI on-demand or on schedule, posts results back with per-channel access control.
PayPal Payout Reporting Validation
Independently recalculates all expected KPIs — fees, debit/credit aggregation, per-merchant rollups — acting as a correctness contract for the financial calculation engine.
Before/after delta validation captures full KPI snapshots before each upload, then asserts net change matches the CSV-computed expected delta.
Clover ↔ Shopify Real-Time Sync
Generates and injects HMAC-signed webhook payloads from both platforms — covers control-plane (health, retry, sync) and data-plane (items, inventory, orders, refunds).
AI-Amplified Engineering — Used AI as a practical support tool to evaluate approaches faster, reduce time spent in early exploration, and move engineering decisions forward with better clarity, while continuing to own system design, quality direction, and delivery standards.
