Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Peña is a pragmatic Test Developer with 10 years of IT experience who transitioned from political science to software engineering and now bridges development, support, and quality assurance. At D2L he has established QA practices, led cross-functional test initiatives, and collaborated with product, design, and engineering teams to cultivate a quality-first culture. He’s comfortable across the full web stack—JavaScript, jQuery, HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, Node, React/Vue—as well as backend languages like Java, C#, PHP and SQL-backed architectures. Robert combines hands-on debugging and defect triage with systems thinking from object-oriented and MVC design, making him effective at both building and hardening applications. He seeks roles that are both challenging and meaningful, where he can both share knowledge and continue learning. One less obvious strength: his background in political science gives him empathy for stakeholder perspectives and structured problem framing when translating user needs into testable requirements.
