Ahmed Abbas Helmy

• Outsourced to MasterControl (Tech lead)

Started as a Senior Software Engineer, later promoted to Senior Engineer Level 2, and entrusted with leading a team of 4 engineers. Contributed to the development of a software solution called "Validation on Demand" to enable Biotech manufacturing customers to automatically validate new software releases and generate reports. This innovation transformed a previously manual process, reducing customer-side validation efforts and allowing MasterControl to release software more frequently. Tech Stack: Spring Framework, Java 17, Kubernetes, AWS, PostgreSQL, GitHub Actions, Datadog.

Achievements:

Redesigned the system into a validation framework used by other teams to build validation processes for their applications, complemented by a core engine to orchestrate validation workflows. This reduced our team's need to understand the business logic of other applications. Enhanced developer experience by creating integration tests that allow developers to validate their work with a single click, without requiring core engine rebuilds. Designed and implemented quality gates for the validation framework, employing Bash scripts, Gradle tasks, and GitHub Actions to automate integration tests and enforce quality checks, including code quality and security measures.
