Beryl Silly Rubacky

Hello, I'm a software engineer primarily focused on Android Development and Quality Assurance. I am extremely familiar with Kotlin, Android Jetpack, Android Compose, and Espresso. On the QA side of things, I have extensive experience in writing automated tests in Selenium, Protractor, Cypress, and Playwright, in a variety of languages. I also have experience writing API tests, performing manual testing, as well as building extensive testing tools to automate testing further.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy working on and building things. Whether that is repairing walkmans and other cassette players, building mechanical keyboards, or writing Android Apps for my favorite games, I'm always tinkering on something. Lately I've been working on my audio setup so I can dub and label cassettes, and I'm hoping to add MiniDiscs to that.

I also love to wind down by listening to my cassette collection while drinking tea or knitting.

Provided Android automation scripts in Kotlin to Mighty Networks as part of a larger automation team provided by QualityLogic. Worked closely with the client's developers to provide automated coverage for new features around video upload and livestreaming.

Mentored and trained new hires in Selenium and Kotlin to get them familiar with automated testing strategies.
