Hi, I'm Dennis Martinez, a software developer who creates technology products to help your business.Send a messageWhat kind of work have I done?Everyone has problems that need fixing. Here are a few real-world scenarios I have worked on to help my clients achieve their business goals.Save time and money by decreasing software testing timeProblemA team developing a web application was experiencing an increasing amount of bugs deployed to production. It also took their QA engineers almost two weeks to complete a full regression testing cycle, hampering their efforts.SolutionI implemented end-to-end testing to automate the most time-consuming testing scenarios. I also integrated these tests with a continuous integration service to create a testing pipeline that automatically ran these tests and alerted the team of any issues.OutcomeThese efforts cut down the amount of time spent in regression testing by half and significantly decreased the number of regressions found before reaching the hands of their customers.Boost sales with better search functionalityProblemOne of the largest sources of stock video footage had a few issues with their existing search functionality. Search results were slow and often inaccurate, leading to missed sales.SolutionI helped improve their search architecture by using a search engine that better served their needs. Using this new search engine allowed me to improve their underlying code for fetching results, and adding additional search options to narrow down the results.OutcomeThe new search engine reduced query times by nearly 10x in some scenarios, and returned more relevant results. Sales of stock footage increased by 25%.Read more real-world examples of how I helped others solve their business problems and achieve their goals.My articlesI write weekly articles at Dev Tester, a blog containing to help developers and software testers improve their test automation skills.
