Summary
Marco Cepeda is a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test with a decade-plus career focused on DevOps, automation, and resilient E2E systems, currently driving test quality at Updater. He has led SDET teams to adopt Cypress, built secrets crypto layers, and created ChaosMesh-driven fault injection to validate microservice resiliency, translating deep troubleshooting into production stability gains. Marco pairs hands-on engineering—Jenkins, SonarQube, TestRail integrations, and custom Maven libraries—with a pragmatic "clean as you code" ethos that measurably improved test coverage and CI reliability. Based in Greater Sacramento, he brings a rare blend of support-to-engineering experience, having resolved thousands of escalations and then automated those operational learnings into scalable test frameworks. Colleagues rely on him to debug night-owl problems to root cause, squash flaky tests, and ship dependable automation across complex distributed systems.
