At Adacado, I developed a Selenium-based automation framework that reduced manual testing by 70% and significantly boosted test efficiency. I contributed to implementing Kubernetes-based test environments, resulting in a 55% improvement in test stability. My responsibilities included writing and executing test scripts with FitNesse and Selenium WebDriver, creating and maintaining test cases, and ensuring product quality through rigorous regression, functional, and acceptance testing. I led performance testing efforts that improved ad loading times by 40% and optimized database query speeds by 60%. I also created a data validation framework using MySQL and TOAD, increasing data accuracy by 25%, and implemented an automated A/B testing system to optimize ad performance.

Groove Slider | hayzer apps
GrooveSlider is a personal side project I built to combine my love of music, UX, and creative tech. It’s a mobile web app that lets users create rhythmic slideshows by tapping through images in sync with their music. Instead of auto-detecting BPM, it captures the user’s unique timing, making each export feel personal and expressive. The app records the tap sequence and exports the result as a shareable MP4 video. I designed and developed the entire product myself, including the UI, frontend (React PWA), backend infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers, KV, D1), and Google Cloud integration for payment verification. I set up Google Play Billing and console configurations, followed Play Store guidelines, organized closed testing, built the landing pages, handled analytics and bot security, and created the social media content. GrooveSlider is now in the final stages of Play Store submission and reflects my full-stack QA, dev, and product skills in action.
