Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSam Khouri is a pragmatic Software Developer in Test with 11+ years of experience building robust test infrastructures and automation for telecom and enterprise software, currently at Apple. He combines hands-on development (Python, Java, Clojure, Robot Framework) with systems thinking—designing Docker-based test orchestration, CI integrations, and tooling that dramatically shrink defect discovery cycles. Early career work in Nortel and IPTV integrations gave him deep exposure to end-to-end systems, partner coordination, and field testing, while roles at BlackBerry and Ericsson show a track record of scaling automated verification and “touchless” promotion pipelines. Sam contributes to high-profile open-source projects’ quality (improving the Swift Package Manager test suite), showing attention to test output clarity and diagnosability. Known for strong customer focus and relationship-building, he pairs curiosity with a history of practical automation that reduces risk and speeds delivery. He is aiming to transition deeper into software development leadership while retaining a tester’s obsession for reliability.
