Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulie Coleman is a Senior SDET and Security Compliance Engineer with 11 years of experience building and scaling test frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and audit-ready security processes across front- and back-end stacks. She combines hands-on automation expertise in React/Next/TypeScript, Playwright, Cypress, .NET/C#, and GitHub Actions with practical PCI/ASV compliance management and remediation coordination. Julie has a track record of dramatically improving developer experience and quality — shrinking CI workflows, raising unit test coverage from under 40% to ~80%, and refactoring large test suites for 10x performance gains. Her non-traditional path from early customer-facing roles to technical leadership gives her strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and a product-focused lens on usability and accessibility. She mentors engineering teams, drives tooling and standards adoption, and volunteers extensively to grow local STEM communities.
