Willing to relocate (US or abroad)

I'm Ben Armour, a Software QA Engineer based in Mason, Ohio. I build maintainable test automation, validate software end-to-end in complex environments, and own quality from test planning through release.

My background spans both automation and manual QA. At STRATACACHE, I performed risk-based test planning for multi-client, multi-region digital menu board launches, building custom lab infrastructure with 1:1 staging/production parity, developing Cypress automation suites, and taking full ownership of the defect lifecycle from triage through verification.

Before that, at the University of Cincinnati IT Solutions Center, I developed Cypress test suites from scratch, increasing regression coverage and establishing a foundation for CI/CD integration. I partnered with developers and stakeholders to align test coverage with technical requirements and release priorities.

I care about reliable software. That means building automation that people trust, writing defect reports that developers can act on, and setting up environments that catch real issues before they reach production.
