Summary
Gabe Coones is a pragmatic Software Engineer in Test with 9 years of hands-on experience building and hardening full-stack systems, automation, and testing pipelines across industries from logistics to retail. He has repeatedly accelerated delivery—containerizing monoliths to cut setup time by 98%, automating certificate lifecycles to reduce processing by 62%, and shipping REST endpoints and reusable React components to improve client workflows. Comfortable across Python, Java, Django, Ansible, Terraform, and CI/CD tooling, Gabe blends backend automation with web interfaces and observability to raise reliability and developer productivity. He thrives in small teams, rapidly onboarding into large codebases and turning messy processes into documented, maintainable solutions. Outside software he applies the same mechanical curiosity to fixing Jeep engines and building high-power rockets, reflecting a lifelong appetite for learning and hands-on problem solving. Based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, he brings a practical, results-driven approach to test engineering and automation.
