Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Hamilton is a Principal Quality Engineer based in Dubai with 18+ years in QA and 11 years focused on automation leadership, known for building resilient test strategies and CI/CD pipelines for large-scale web and mobile products. He has led greenfield projects for major telcos and airlines, driving shifts to cloud-based mobile testing, consumer-driven contract testing, and unified “One Test Strategy” frameworks across diverse stacks (WebDriverIO, Appium, Pact, Swift/Kotlin, Typescript). Comfortable operating at both strategic and hands-on levels, Ian routinely architects end-to-end automation, mentors teams, and embeds TDD/BDD and shift-left practices to reduce risk and speed delivery. He brings a pragmatic mix of tooling depth (nodeJS, Scala, Gatling, Fastlane) and cross-domain reuse, having shipped the BBC’s first native mobile automation framework and scaled testing across dozens of scrum teams. An understated strength is his track record of turning consultancy engagements into long-term automation roadmaps that continue to deliver after his departure.
