Senior🎓
Top SchoolDag Nygaard is a Senior Test Engineer based in Oslo with 11+ years of hands-on experience building robust test automation, CI pipelines and performance testing for large-scale J2EE and component-based systems. He combines deep developer skills (Java, Groovy, Ruby, NodeJS) with extensive tooling knowledge—FitNesse, Selenium, Cucumber, Gatling, Jenkins/TeamCity, Octopus and Splunk—to create auditable, continuous smoke and stress test suites for APIs and back-end infrastructure. His background spans critical domains including telecom, utilities (large-scale smart meter rollouts), finance and public sector integrations, where he has both implemented CI-driven release flows and built custom monitoring/indexing for test evidence. ISTQB advanced-certified and fluent in both scripting and enterprise Java stacks, he often bridges QA and development by contributing production-grade code and utilities rather than just test scripts. Notably, he prefers selective recruiter engagement and prioritizes roles where decision-makers are involved early, reflecting a pragmatic, senior-consultant approach to engagements.
