Summary
Alexander Schikora is a Full-Stack Senior Software Developer based in Frankfurt with seven years of focused experience building TypeScript/Vue applications and test automation architectures for enterprise environments. Currently driving backend and frontend work at Deutsche Bahn, he combines NestJS, Vue, and CI/CD pipelines with a strong background in SDET practices from roles at imbus, KUKA, and EPLAN. He is equally at home designing automated test frameworks (Selenium, Cucumber, Ranorex, UFT) and improving QA toolchains, bringing deep hands-on knowledge of legacy and modern tooling from HP ALM to GitLab CI and Docker. Known for meticulous attention to detail and practical tooling solutions, he often bridges development and QA to reduce friction in delivery pipelines. Unusually, his career blends early game/localization testing and hardware-adjacent QA (robotics) with current cloud-native web stacks, giving him a broad perspective on reliability and testability.
