Testing Lead for the Passenger app, with focus on microservices and backend reliability.
Highlights
- Consumer-Driven Contract Testing with Pact.io — introduced and rolled out across services, replacing slow E2E coordination.
- Mutation Testing with PITest — introduced as a quality signal alongside line/branch coverage.
- Business-flow checks through services in Kotlin, JavaScript, and Python — replacing a slow E2E suite with targeted, fast checks at the right boundaries.
- Workshops, training, and pairing sessions to grow developer ownership of testing and quality — moving away from QA-as-handoff.
- Service monitoring and deployment management.
- Code quality feedback via SonarQube integrated into the dev loop.
- Candidate interviews — technical and agile mindset.
