Senior🎓
Top SchoolShane Birdsall is a Specialist Test Automation Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building automation frameworks and shaping test strategy across mobile, web, and backend systems. A former AUT instructor in data structures and algorithms, he pairs deep programming skills (Java, Kotlin, Swift, C#, Ruby, JS/TS, bash) with pragmatic DevOps chops—CI/CD, Azure pipelines, IaC and cloud migrations—to own delivery from code to cloud. At Fiserv he led a shift-left transformation that accelerated release cadence and drove greenfield architecture and automation strategy; he now leads multidisciplinary teams of SDETs, DevOps and performance engineers. Comfortable coding across stacks (recent favorites: TypeScript and Kotlin) and even escaping vim under pressure, Shane blends technical craft, mentoring and hiring experience with a proven ability to operationalize quality at scale.
