Summary
Robert Brown is a seasoned Software Test Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience in systems administration, network design, and application testing across defense, automotive, and enterprise environments. He blends practical field engineering—supporting thousands of remote endpoints and maintaining Windows server estates—with software-focused testing and middleware work, including SWIFT message routing and regression testing in HP ALM. At Ricardo Defense he progressed from software engineering to test engineering, applying strong scripting skills (VBScript, Bash, Python, Perl) and SQL to automate interfaces and test workflows. His background running a video/media business shows an unusual mix of creative production and technical web/video deployment experience using Adobe toolchains and streaming technologies. Based in Warren, Michigan, he’s comfortable on call for 24x7 support, coordinates disaster recovery exercises, and brings a meticulous, audit-ready approach to change control and documentation. Colleagues rely on him for clear communication, pragmatic problem solving, and bridging the gap between operations, development, and end users.
