Summary
🤩
RockstarAuthor Japps is a software engineer based in London with 11 years’ experience specializing in product engineering, data pipelines and automation. He is a pragmatic back-end developer who contributes to open-source test automation—most notably improving Zerocode, a community-driven framework for API, Kafka and database testing via JSON/YAML scenarios. His commits show hands-on expertise in Java refactoring, REST execution, local response formatting and adding testing safeguards that improve reliability of test execution flows. Comfortable working across engineering lifecycles, he blends practical automation skills with a focus on maintainable, configurable tooling. Not obvious from the title: he prefers driving quality through test-first infrastructure rather than ad-hoc scripting, helping teams scale reliable deployments.
