Lookout

Mobile Security

Senior Test Engineer

2014 - 2015

Project: Test Automation

With my experience at Progressive Insurance where I had learned to build my own code instrumentor for dynamic analysis, which I used alongside existing static analysis tools to test and measure deployed systems, I had a rich understanding of how to analyze runtimes of mobile apps, which was part of Lookout's mobile security backend special sauce.

With this mutual interest in mind I joined and helped create and standardize automated test suites as an engineer, developing libraries, frameworks and declarative jobs that constituted the types of tests needed to assure correctness and security of our own software offerings.

Key Results

Authored scale test automation exercising 4 integrated stacks identifying 20+ scaling bottlenecks
Measured and increased code coverage between 20% and 50% for various repos within 9 months

Lead Engineer

2012 - 2014

Project: New Admin Dashboard

New Admin Dashboard - Architected and implemented green field admin dashboard, worked with junior devs and leadership to bring about in the requested stack: Bootstrap / JQuery / Ruby / Java / MySQL / LDAP. Users used Admin Dashboard to administer Organization, Role, and other management aspects of the Explorys EPM Suite.

Dependency Injection Framework - To enable high testability, all components required dependencies to be passed in, and so eliminating factory boilerplate without adopting a complex DI system was desirable. Wrote and shared a simple runtime-reflection based DI framework with multiple projects / teams
