Product Quality Engineer
Delivered quality for Workday Student's admissions and recruiting suites during rapid enterprise customer growth.
I joined the Prospective Student team as QA on admissions and recruiting features while the customer base was growing fast, and the quality problem was scale. Every new institution meant more configurations to verify with the same size team. So the work that mattered most was the reusable kind. The group-test format I ran for the two largest features of my first release became the model the team reused. The seeded datasets I built across three data design engagements emulated real institutional environments, raised testing consistency across 5+ of them, and cut setup time 30% for the development organization. The feature epics I wrote from technical specifications, 400+ user stories and bugs across my tenure, became the working backlog engineers built from. The pattern was the same each time, turn a one-off effort into an asset the whole team could run.
