Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGary Barnes is a Quality Assurance Architect with 11 years of experience designing automated testing, reliability engineering, and CI/CD solutions for SaaS and FinTech platforms. He specializes in API automation, performance/load testing (k6), and functional UI testing with Selenium/C#, and has a track record of integrating those practices into GitHub Actions and enterprise pipelines. Gary has driven measurable operational improvements—reducing SaaS validation from days to minutes and embedding Splunk-driven SLO/SLA monitoring to speed mean-time-to-repair. He pairs hands-on scripting (PowerShell, Python, C#) and infrastructure automation with pragmatic documentation and team training, authoring framework wikis and QA charters to ensure adoption. Based in Portland, he combines security- and compliance-minded experience (HIPAA, HiTrust, URAC) with a knack for packaging reusable frameworks (NPM-distributed k6 modules) for cross-team use. Colleagues rely on him as a diplomatic, results-focused advisor who scales quality through tooling, education, and clear operational strategy.
