• Own quality assurance through comprehensive testing approaches including unit testing, system integration testing, and user acceptance testing, developing robust tests to cover all relevant cases

• Triage complicated failures and drive to resolution independently, helping others with their troubleshooting and root cause analysis

• Mentor junior engineers on proper standards and techniques to improve their accuracy and efficiency while providing ongoing support to applications used within the organization
