Bradley Mendenhall

I am a seasoned Quality Assurance (QA) professional with over 15 years of experience leading and executing both manual and automated testing strategies across diverse industries, including cybersecurity, healthcare AI, finance, and manufacturing. With a strong technical foundation in Python, Selenium, SQL, and API testing, I specialize in designing robust testing frameworks that elevate software quality and streamline development pipelines.

Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional QA efforts on high-impact projects such as migrating legacy systems to Salesforce and building automation coverage from the ground up. At SANS Institute, I quadrupled test coverage and significantly reduced post-launch defects through AI-enhanced test strategies. As a QA Manager at Olive AI, I doubled release frequency by refining release coordination and optimizing CI/CD pipelines in GitLab.

My approach blends strategic leadership with hands-on execution. I’ve mentored QA teams, improved defect management processes, and collaborated with stakeholders to align testing with business goals. My background includes verifying data integrity across databases, conducting end-to-end order validation via XML analysis, and creating training documentation from scratch to support software onboarding.

Driven by quality, I am passionate about solving problems, coaching teams to excellence, and delivering reliable software solutions that meet both user expectations and regulatory standards.
