Antoine McIntosh 👋

Detailed, proactive and self-motivated Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer, Business Analyst (BA), SCRUM Master, and Product Owner, with a desire to, through collaboration and excellent written and verbal communication, implement innovative long and short-term solutions for any problem. Previously, as a Quality Assurance Engineer, within my 12 years of experience, I brought a unique blend of soft and technical skills to my teams, well versed in database (through SQL), integration, mobile application, API, regression, smoke, and feature testing, within an agile framework, through CI/CD. Also, I maintain the ability to write well-thought-out test plans, strategies, and cases, report and adequately define bugs and defects, perform root cause analysis to aid in debugging, and partake in managing releases across different environments, working on mixing budding test automation knowledge with known manual QA best practices. As a Business Analyst, within my 8 years of experience, I gathered comprehensive requirements, excelled as a technical writer and process analyst, conducted training exercises to usher in new projects, facilitated User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and ultimately acted as the bridge between the technical and business spaces, translating business needs into usable technical inputs for development, throughout the SDLC. In a previous role, I took the mantle of SCRUM Master, guiding the SCRUM Team through the required ceremonies, nurturing the team’s collaborative skills through servant leadership, removing roadblocks and bottlenecks, and providing insightful reports to clients, vendors, and the management team. Experienced in technologies including Postman, Git, SnagIt, Microsoft Office, MSSQL, Swagger, Jira, Confluence, TestRail, SmartBear TestComplete, HP Quality Center, Cypress, Strapi, BigQuery, Android Studio, Visual Studio, Azure DevOps.
