Summary
Cody Uhlrich is a principle QA engineer with 11 years of experience building automation-first quality strategies for complex, regulated and distributed systems. He has led end-to-end QA roadmaps, shifted testing left to enable continuous high-velocity delivery, and directly improved team throughput and SLA performance through mentorship and process optimization. Cody pairs deep technical skills in C#, CI/CD, Redis and E2E tooling with hands-on engineering—having built custom ADB tools, real-time caching, and nightly validation pipelines that cut test and compute time dramatically. He has driven compliance efforts across international regulatory landscapes and integrated AI-assisted tooling (Claude, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate story writing and code generation. Based in Coralville, IA, Cody is known for trimming unnecessary process fat while codifying sustainable practices that scale teams and reduce context switching. Less obvious: he blends individual contributor engineering with acting management responsibilities, often stepping into people-leadership to align QA with product roadmaps.
