John Gaff is an experienced Automation Engineer with 9 years in software quality, currently driving test automation efforts at Cisco from Raleigh, NC. He brings deep hands-on expertise in UI and non-UI automation, building frameworks with Java and Selenium, RESTful service testing, CI pipelines (Jenkins/TeamCity), and bespoke command-line and health-check tooling. His background in computational chemistry (Ph.D.) and years of research give him uncommon strengths in experimental design, data-driven validation, and scientific scripting—skills he’s translated into rigorous test strategy and automation for regulated and complex systems. Previously he accelerated release velocity and reliability at BIOVIA and Clinipace by converting manual OQ/functional tests into repeatable automated suites across multiple browsers and platforms. Known for bridging deep technical rigor with practical process improvements, he often surfaces subtle data/phase mismatches that evade conventional testing.
