AlixPartners · M&A due-diligence platform (via Symphony)
02/2026 – present

Owns backend and frontend testing: a Playwright + TypeScript suite
over the REST API, React UI, AI chat and SharePoint ingestion.
Validates data flows against Azure SQL, Cosmos DB and Function Apps.

  ~430 Playwright tests over 88 spec files
  25+  tag-filtered CI subsets, so pipelines run only what changed
  70%  mutation kill-rate target

Implementation notes
  auth      Azure AD token captured after SSO, exchanged for an
            API-scoped OBO token with @azure/msal-node, cached per run.
  cleanup   Every Azure resource is registered as soon as it is
            created, so teardown removes it even when setup fails.
  secrets   Key Vault through an interactive credential locally,
            pipeline tasks in CI; a missing value fails the run.
  mutation  API responses are mutated (flipped booleans, nulled
            fields, swapped strings) to find assertions that pass
            for the wrong reason.

Looking for: Senior, Staff or Lead quality engineering roles on complex,
             distributed systems:
             - building and leading QA teams, from hiring to practice
             - auditing and improving existing test and release processes
             - quality gates that protect delivery speed, not slow it down
             Also open to scoped audit and framework engagements.
Currently:   Playwright + TypeScript against an Azure-heavy M&A
             platform; mutation-testing API responses.
Tinkering:   Claude Code in the QA loop, and this terminal.
