DIPLOMA IN MECHATRONICS & ROBOTICS — SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC
2023 — Present DBS BANK // TEST ANALYST (MANUAL / AUTOMATION)
- Engineered a custom TWQR Payment Generator using Python and DES3 Cryptography to unblock development and testing cycles.
- Reverse-engineered regional and global specifications to establish the first internal testing baseline for DBS's Taiwan market integration.
- Developed multi-threaded TUI and GUI applications using py_cui, Rich, Kivy, VBA to sanitize and validate complex QR payloads, to visualize and generate reports straight from JIRA, and to automate data injection and environment setup, significantly reducing testing overhead.
- Enabled critical defect detection during the initial development phase by providing internal validation capabilities months ahead of project milestones.
- Implemented BDD driven test suites for both manual and automated execution for retail banking applications across SG, TW and HK using jbehave and Digital.ai (SeeTest Automation), ensuring cross-platform stability on iOS, Android and web browsers.
2022 SIEMENS SG // METRICS VALIDATOR / SOFTWARE TEST ENGINEER
- Part of the REAMS (Rail Enterprise Asset Management System) project working in tandem with LTA and ST Engineering.
- Verification of Business Intelligence's logic and metric definitions.
