Summary
Isaac Friedman is a pragmatic QA automation engineer and entrepreneur with 11 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining web systems, test automation (Cypress), and tooling in Python and PHP. He blends consultancy and product work—running his own consulting firm and most recently founding Friedman Home Services—while shipping automation at startups like Hired, Haven Technologies, and Afresh. Comfortable across Linux, web stacks, and infrastructure, he has a track record of reducing costs and modernizing workflows from small nonprofits to enterprise teams. A broad generalist by necessity, he pairs technical delivery with operational roles (IT leadership, renovations, even community-facing responsibilities) that sharpen his problem-solving and communication. Notably, he’s written custom integration scripts (e.g., Shopify->Canvas) and maintains legacy platforms alongside modern automated QA practices.
