Che Fisher is a Principal Quality Engineer with 11 years’ experience building quality functions from the ground up at multiple startups and scaling automated test ecosystems across web, API, backend, and mobile platforms. A hands-on TypeScript, NodeJS and C# developer, Che has architected and maintained around 20 bespoke test suites and tools—often as the first QE hire—driving faster, more reliable releases and slashing CI and manual test times. He combines technical craft with Agile practice, having served as Scrum Master and mentor while introducing data-driven QA policies and observability into engineering workflows. Notable wins include inventing Mockmock to cut CI times by 85%, pioneering Playwright adoption, and applying statistical techniques to meaningfully test non-deterministic APIs. Based in Melbourne, he balances engineering with creative pursuits—musician, philosopher and self-styled N64 Smash Bros world champion—which reflects a playful, systems-minded approach to problem solving. Che is still quietly testing the hypothesis that great coffee improves code quality.
