Summary
Michael Chandler is a pragmatic software engineer with a decade of experience specializing in test automation, CI/CD, and infrastructure for enterprise products. He has a strong Python 3 background and a proven track record reducing test runtimes and stabilizing pipelines—once converting a primary CI suite to run in parallel and cutting run time by up to 80%. Comfortable across Linux, Mac, and Windows, he’s implemented end-to-end automation with Robot Framework, Selenium, Behave, Jenkins, Docker and Kubernetes while also driving cross-team standards and remote-work security policy. Michael recently pivoted to AI training and code review work, applying prompt-driven code generation and review practices to diverse projects. He balances hands-on engineering with clear communication and consensus-building, and took a year-long sabbatical to explore investing, demonstrating intellectual curiosity beyond pure engineering. Based in Bothell, WA, he is work-authorized in the US and actively expanding front-end JavaScript skills via Bov Academy.
