Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Kitchener is a Test Automation Architect and senior software quality leader with 13+ years of hands-on experience designing automation frameworks, performance suites, and CI/CD pipelines that enable rapid, reliable releases. He has built and handed off multiple open and proprietary frameworks (including the Golem project), driven automation at director level across startups and Fortune 500 clients, and led teams that moved organizations from weekly releases to multiple deploys per day. Technically fluent across C#, Java, Ruby, Python, JavaScript and SQL, he pairs deep tool knowledge (Selenium/WebDriver, Eggplant, JMeter, FitNesse, etc.) with practical engineering—creating data-generation APIs, stability tooling, and dashboards that pushed test reliability to 99.9%. A frequent trainer, conference speaker, and blogger, he combines consulting breadth with product-focused execution and a knack for turning brittle test suites into scalable, production-grade practices. Based in Denver, he now focuses on architecture-level automation problems while continuing to mentor teams and contribute to open-source testing tooling.
