Shaun Malone is a founder and consultant with over a decade of hands-on experience driving quality engineering, test automation, and CI/CD improvements at organisations including Microsoft, Axon VIBE, and Aiven. He specialises in turning slow, risky release processes into high-velocity, reliable delivery pipelines—having taken Aiven from one weekly release to multiple build-ready releases per day and architected a globally adopted test framework at Axon VIBE. Comfortable both as an embedded fractional leader and a technical architect, he blends pragmatic test strategy, release automation and practical AI integration to make teams self-sufficient. Based in Stony Stratford, he brings enterprise-grade engineering chops to SMEs and scale-ups without the full-time overhead, and has a track record of building cross-platform testing bridges (including Microsoft’s first native iOS-to-Visual Studio automation).
