Summary
Phil Miess is a pragmatic Software QA Engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience in manual and automated testing across Java, Python, Robot, AutoIt, and a range of API and data technologies. He has deep expertise tracking down intermittent bugs, validating microservice endpoints, queues (Rabbit/Kafka), and database content (Mongo/SQL) while integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines using Git, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Docker and Artifactory. His background spans enterprise data warehouse validation, XSLT/XSL transforms, Unicode/localization testing, and building test tools for processing financial data, reflecting a strong blend of domain knowledge and tooling finesse. Comfortable across cloud VMs and infrastructure automation (OpenStack, Terraform), he consistently turns brittle integration points into repeatable, debuggable test assets. Based in Henrietta, NY, Phil is notable for converting legacy test suites into maintainable frameworks and for using scripting and small utilities to bridge gaps in product testability.
