Boise Metropolitan Area United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTate E is a Sr. SDET with a decade of experience building tooling, QA frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines that make testing faster and more reliable. He has driven shift-left strategies and plugin-based test frameworks that reduced end-to-end suites from thousands to a handful while improving coverage and performance at scale. Comfortable across Go, TypeScript, Kubernetes and Golang tooling, he has tuned k8s services to handle 10,000+ RPS and automated adapter deployments with Helm and ephemeral environments. At Chainlink Labs he contributed to the core Chainlink node and strengthened integration testing and build stability for a prominent decentralized oracle project. Now at CrowdStrike, he continues to blend back-end/devops engineering with advanced test methodologies to ship robust systems. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic toolsmith who prefers shipping repeatable automation over flashy one-off fixes.
