Anyone looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) for any full-time perm remote positions, or hybrid to the Boston / South Shore of Massachusetts area? Or do you need a 1099 contractor for six months to put together an automation framework for you? I am #OpenToWork.
I specialize in building web, mobile, and API automated test frameworks - from initial proof-of-concepts through CI/CD integration, reporting, and team mentoring and training. I work best being embedded in a dev team, constructing an automation framework, sprint-by-sprint, translating business requirements into solid automated tests according to the needs of the business and the stakeholders.
Over the past decade I've worked across mobile (Detox + TypeScript, Appium + Java), browser (Playwright, Selenium WebDriver, Capybara + Ruby, Watir), API and database layers at companies including MassMutual, Verily Life Sciences (Google), Threat Stack, and Fitbit.
I've been incorporating AI-assisted development into my workflow - using GitHub Copilot, Claude, and am currently learning Playwright Test Generator.
Being part of the software testing community is important to me. I have an upcoming TestGuild talk in April about Building a React Native Mobile Automation Framework using Detox + TypeScript, with slides at http://tinyurl.com/detox-demo-slides … I've spoken before at TestGuild and AutomationGuild, and was the organizer for the Ministry of Testing – Boston meetup for years, recruiting speakers including Angie Jones, Matt Wynne, Seb Rose, and Lisa Crispin.
Blogging for me is part of the learning process. I tend to document as I go, creating toy projects to deepen what I am learning on the job. My 200+ post technical blog, Adventures in Automation ( tjmaher.com ) are written mid-process - while I'm still figuring something out - because that's the best way to I've found to encourage collaboration. That same instinct shows up in how I work: writing READMEs, mentoring teammates new to automation, and presenting framework walkthroughs to company QA guilds.
Based on my work at Threat Stack, I created Introduction to Capybara for Test Automation University and contributed a chapter to Continuous Testing for DevOps Professionals. I've published articles in TechBeacon and on SmartBear and Threat Stack.
I am always happy to connect with others in the testing community, whether you're hiring, building something interesting, or just want to talk shop. Let's jump on a Zoom call!
