Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Weng is an Automation Test Lead with eight years of focused experience building end-to-end test automation frameworks, CI-integrated pipelines, and scalable test suites for cloud-hosted and containerized applications. He has led Playwright and Puppeteer-based frameworks for multi-language Angular and React portals in precision medicine and cancer genomics at the Broad Institute, and authored API-scale Python tests to surface performance regressions. Comfortable bridging QA, development, and DevOps, he creates automated solutions beyond tests—improving test efficiency, acceptance criteria definition, and organizational processes. A longtime tester with roots in IBM and enterprise asset management, he blends classical test engineering (RFT, Cucumber, Selenium, REST-Assured) with modern cloud practices (Google/Azure) and holds a Boston University MS in Computer Science. He also brings security and compliance awareness from HIPAA/HIPS training and a Google Associate Cloud Engineer certification, making him well-suited for regulated, data-sensitive domains.
