Hi, my name is Rhys Thomas
I'm a Senior Quality Engineer.

As sole QA for the DriveScore product, I defined the test strategy as the team scaled from 1 to 3 squads. Key achievements include reworking native CI pipelines (PR builds from 1h15 to 13 min), reducing GitHub Actions costs by 92%, building a self-service test user platform, and migrating mobile automation from CodeceptJS to Maestro for fully automated regression in CI.

During my time in New Zealand I worked for the Electoral Commission doing data entry. This was a tedious manual process of inputting the data from handwritten forms into a database. I built a tool using the Google Vision API to read the handwritten forms and inject the data into the database. This improved form processing time by ~10x.

The project I was working on in Roam was a product called Backr. We wanted to display some key metrics to the team in a visually appealing way to motivate us and show our impact. I used the Google Maps API to pull sign-up data from our analytics platform and plotted it on a map of Australia, showing where each new user was signing up from every day.

I created an NPM package that downloads the latest versions of your apps from Microsoft App Center. It checks if you have an apps folder and if not, creates one. It then finds your app based on the title that you passed through to the function and checks if you have the most recent version downloaded. If not, then it downloads it for you!
