Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSteven Chaves is a Senior SDET and DevOps engineer with 6 years in focused test automation and over a decade of broader software engineering experience across embedded, enterprise, and cloud domains. He combines certifications in Java, Pega, and SAFe with hands-on skills in TypeScript, Python, Jenkins, Cypress, AWS IoT, and Kubernetes to build test frameworks, CI pipelines, and DevOps tooling that scale. Steven has led automation efforts at IBM and automotive/IoT testing at Canoo, created proxy APIs to expand frontend test coverage, and mentors manual testers to become more productive through automation. Equally comfortable in backend, frontend, and device-level testing, he brings a systems-engineering mindset informed by graduate studies and practical experience integrating firmware and cloud services. Curious about AI/ML, he focuses on creating testing solutions that increase team velocity and uncover integration issues earlier.
