Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Cook is a seasoned SDET with 12 years’ experience building reliable web applications and test infrastructure across companies from the BBC to Transport for Greater Manchester. He specialises in speeding up and stabilising test suites—reducing full-stack test runs from 30+ minutes to under 10 at Stacker and increasing test feedback velocity by refactoring for unit-level coverage at Hopin. Comfortable in Ruby, JavaScript/TypeScript and CI/CD tooling, he has built Test Data APIs, developer CLIs and Docker-based environments that accelerate onboarding and enable feature-branch infrastructure. A hands-on collaborator, he pairs, mobs and mentors teams to instil a “shift-left” testing culture and turn quality into a shared responsibility. Based in Stevenage, England, he excels at practical engineering productivity improvements that unblock delivery while catching regressions earlier.
