SeniorArik J is a Site Reliability Engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in test automation and UX/UI validation, now applying that expertise to reliability work at The Buckle. He writes production code in Ruby, JavaScript, Go and C#, and designs automated test suites using tools like Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Cucumber/SpecFlow and Pactum.js to catch issues early and improve developer feedback loops. Arik has a strong track record of migrating and modernizing test frameworks—reducing runtimes, improving debugability, and enabling on-call observability with Datadog automation.
