Senior SDET

Akamai Technologies

As a Senior SDET, I play a pivotal role in building a reliable and secure cloud platform by ensuring the quality of core Linode services. My work involves testing of backend APIs/microservices and the frontend Cloud Manager, directly contributing to the development of new cloud infrastructure.

• Led end-to-end quality validation for critical cloud infrastructure projects, including the backend and frontend integration of Linode NodeBalancers with VPCs. This ensured seamless and secure networking functionality for users.
• Engineered a data-driven automation framework from the ground up to test the new Linode Identity and Access Management (IAM) API integration. Also developed a custom reporting portal to provide clear insights into API health and test coverage, significantly improving the feedback loop for developers.
• Proactively diagnosed production issues and test failures by analyzing logs with Grafana LogQL and monitoring application health using New Relic and Sentry to ensure system stability and performance.
• Contributed to the existing API testing framework by adding coverage for new features across virtual machines (VMs), networking, and other cloud services.
• Collaborated with development and product teams to align testing strategy with product goals, ensuring the seamless delivery of high-quality cloud features.
• Actively contributed to release testing pipelines, monitoring execution, analyzing results, and identifying critical issues to safeguard product quality.
