Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Mead is a Manager of QA Engineering with a decade of hands-on experience designing high-performance automated testing and data ingestion systems across finance, insurance, and SaaS. He has advanced from developer-in-test roles to leading QA at Posit, building parallelized, scalable test infrastructures using TypeScript, Scala, Python, and cloud platforms while driving CI/CD and observability integrations. His background spans end-to-end automation—from UI and Playwright browser suites to Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Spark pipeline validation—often improving test throughput and reliability by an order of magnitude. Trained as an electrical engineer (Summa Cum Laude), he brings a systems-thinking approach to testing, treating automation as an operational product rather than an afterthought. Notably, he has a track record of creating concurrent testing frameworks and Kubernetes-resident test runners that run alongside production deployments. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, he pairs pragmatic engineering with tooling craftsmanship to make complex workflows auditable and repeatable.
