From functional tester to building automation systems teams trust. I’m an SDET Manager (15+ years) at Crestron Electronics. I design automation frameworks, scale execution infrastructure, and build automation observability—custom dashboards that turn test results into clear decisions. I work across Web, Android, iOS, Device, and API systems. I’ve led automation experiments that cut execution time by 90%, automated failure analysis, and helped teams eliminate flaky tests for good. I code daily in Java and TypeScript, building practical automation solutions with open-source tools. How I help on Topmate: Hands-on interview coaching, framework & test reviews, CI/flakiness debugging, and career mentoring for QEs/SDETs. Short, focused sessions. Clear fixes you can apply the same day. If you’re moving from manual to automation—or aiming for product-company interviews—this path will feel familiar.
