Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeffrey Gray is a Principal Quality Assurance Engineer in San Francisco with 20+ years of experience turning chaotic test environments into disciplined, repeatable CI/CD pipelines across both Agile and Waterfall teams. He combines hands-on automation (Selenium/Python, Pytest, Page Object Model) with leadership—building QA teams, administering JIRA/GitHub/TeamCity/Jenkins, and designing robust test architectures for web, API, and internationalized products. His background spans startups to enterprise (Netscape, Symantec, NGINX) and includes lab-scale ops work—maintaining diverse server fleets and custom monitoring—so he equally understands infrastructure and test code. A longtime advocate for developer-friendly QA, he enjoys making individual technical contributions while coaching teams to adopt practical “definition of done” practices. Notably, he pairs a BA in Russian Area Studies with EMT training and a stint as a firefighter, reflecting an unusual blend of analytical, operational, and crisis-response experience.
