Talk Takeaways
I’m a Senior SDET with numerous years of experience building automation frameworks and leading automation teams at both startups and Fortune 100 companies, such as Disney. I love building frameworks from scratch and specialize in transitioning teams to release faster with greater confidence using Shifting Left methodologies. I’m a big believer in engineering communities as you only ever face a tiny slice of all possible experiences and problems. Therefore, surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals places you in the optimal position to not only learn from others but to also teach using your own experiences. My current professional focus in reducing plastic waste and carbon emissions within the United States and I hope my current employment can change the world long-term. Outside of work, I loves to travel the world, play hockey, and enjoy the food and drink opportunities that Colorado has to offer.
