Robert Stagner is a Senior QA Engineer with over two decades of hands-on UNIX/Linux experience and 12 years in software-focused QA leadership, currently shaping test automation at The Walt Disney Studios. He designs and builds open-source and in-house automation frameworks—authoring a Maven plugin to enable parallel Cucumber scenario execution and a Selenium wrapper that reduces boilerplate for web testing. Equally fluent in ATDD/BDD and risk-driven test selection, he integrates automation into CI pipelines (Bamboo/Jenkins) and containerized Docker stacks to run reliable end-to-end and system tests. Robert has led QA teams, established process and tooling standards, and driven measurable maintenance and delivery improvements across media and finance platforms. His background in aerospace engineering and early systems administration gives him a rigorous, systems-level troubleshooting approach that surfaces subtle quality risks before they reach production. Based in Santa Clarita, CA, he combines deep technical craft with a proven track record of making automation pragmatic and maintainable.
