Judd Burger

Software QA Engineer

Summary

My career at DigiOutsource commenced in 2014, starting within customer service before advancing to a high value VIP account manager role, and after much consideration adapted into a technical career within software quality assurance.


Presently, I specialize in MS Dynamics (CRM), taking on the responsibilities of a QA Engineer focused on deployments to both test and live environments. This role has deepened my familiarity with CI/CD practices, particularly through the use of Azure Cloud DevOps.

Our testing tools and framework incorporates BDD, Selenium WebDriver and C# which has significantly enhanced my expertise in automation, API testing, and end-to-end testing for web applications.


A recent passion for Playwright has led me to complete a course from Test Automation University, further enhancing my skills and allowing me to contribute more effectively to software development projects at Betway. My dedication to quality, agility, and strategic problem-solving reinforces my commitment to delivering high-quality software solutions.

In addition to my technical skills, my work is characterized by a strong commitment to teamwork, continuous learning, and tackling challenges that foster innovation.


Outside of my professional endeavors, I am committed to personal development and community contribution. Balancing my interests in the outdoors, a love for dogs, and music with active volunteer work, I strive for a holistic approach that enriches both my professional contributions and societal impact, aiming to drive innovation and make a meaningful difference.
