Summary
Kevin North is a Senior Test Automation Developer with 11 years of experience building and maintaining reliable web applications and automation pipelines, now based in Sacramento. He has strong full-stack chops—Ruby on Rails, React, TypeScript/JavaScript—and deep testing expertise with RSpec, Jest, Mocha+Chai, and Cypress alongside CI/CD and Docker. At Applied Systems he led complex features and refactors, repeatedly learning new stacks (BigQuery, GraphQL, LookML, OAuth) to rescue high-risk projects and implement maintainable metaprogrammed solutions. He pairs graduate-level theory (compiler design, OS, discrete math) with practical engineering, bringing a curiosity for formal math—currently reading Sets and Transfinite Numbers—to inform rigorous problem solving. Known as the engineer teammates turn to for difficult technical challenges, he maintains a personal site and public repo that showcase his hands-on work and thoughtful engineering approach.
