Daniel Yang is a Senior QA Engineer in Seattle with 11 years of experience driving test automation, CI/CD, and reliability improvements across startups and large enterprises. He has a track record of cutting deploy and release times dramatically—implementing auto-scaling Azure DevOps agents, Dockerized test environments, and integrated reporting that reduced test-result confusion by ~85%. At companies from Airtable to Boeing he blended SDET craft with developer-focused tooling, tying GitHub PRs to project management and automating visibility into test status. He contributes to open source backend projects (notably stashapp/stash in Go), adding pragmatic cleanup and asset-management features that reflect his operational mindset. Known for eliminating flakiness and uncertainty through contract tests, linters, and dashboards, he excels at turning brittle processes into predictable pipelines. Outside work he describes himself as a dev “working on random stuff,” hinting at a broad curiosity that drives practical, behind-the-scenes improvements.
