Summary
Dave Parker is a Senior Software Engineer and SDET with 9 years of experience building full‑stack web applications and automated test frameworks, fluent in Java, Kotlin, and JavaScript/TypeScript. He designs and ships scalable systems on AWS—using Kotlin/Ktor, PostgreSQL, S3, Docker, and coroutines for high‑concurrency workflows—while also creating Playwright and Selenium suites that integrate CI reporting into Slack and TestRail. Dave has a strong track record of improving testability and maintainability by architecting data validation layers, Page Object Model frameworks, and bespoke plugins that sync BDD feature files with test management tools. Based in Santa Rosa, he pairs hands‑on backend engineering with front‑end responsiveness work and practical DevOps collaboration, and he mentors junior SDETs through paired programming. A less obvious strength is his knack for automating complex authentication flows (e.g., retrieving one‑time passcodes) to enable reliable end‑to‑end test automation across browsers and environments.
