Dennis Tang is an SDET II and software engineer with 11 years of experience, blending test engineering, backend systems, and applied AI research while pursuing an MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech (OMSCS) focused on machine learning, computer vision, and robotics. He designs and maintains robust test automation frameworks (Playwright, TypeScript/JavaScript) that have halved manual testing and accelerated release cycles, and has a strong history of system-level problem solving from roles at Optro, Abbott, and Samsung. Comfortable across front-end and back-end domains, he has contributed frontend improvements to high-profile open-source projects like GitLab CE, demonstrating an eye for UX and pragmatic engineering. His graduate work on perception systems (localization, probabilistic filtering, visual processing) complements hands-on automation expertise, making him well suited for roles building intelligent systems and robotic perception pipelines. Based in Los Angeles, he combines data-driven decision making with a practical focus on reliability and maintainability in production systems.
