👋 Hi, I’m Nick Chavez a Senior QA Engineer with 17+ years of experience ensuring software quality across high-impact teams at PayPal/Honey, TMZ, Activision, 2K Games, and most recently HundredX, where I led quality engineering across both web and data platforms. 🔍 I specialize in building and scaling test automation frameworks (Cypress, Postman, JMeter), reducing manual testing by over 60%, and improving release quality and time-to-delivery. My approach combines deep hands-on testing with strong collaboration across QA, product, and engineering teams — helping deliver better experiences faster. 🚀 At HundredX, I built Cypress frameworks from the ground up and integrated load testing and API validation that directly supported clients like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. At PayPal/Honey, I helped scale user growth from 10M to 20M+ accounts, driving automation within a cross-functional growth team. I’ve also led end-to-end testing for media platforms at TMZ and built mobile automation pipelines using Appium and Selenium. 🧠 I bring: A strong track record of improving test coverage, performance, and process Deep technical experience with tools like Cypress, Selenium, Postman, JMeter, AWS, GCP, and CircleCI An Agile mindset, backed by strong cross-functional communication and stakeholder collaboration 🎯 I’m now looking to bring my skills to a mission-driven team, ideally in fintech, media, or consumer tech, where I can help scale quality engineering efforts and mentor teams in best QA practices.
