Vladimir Shkodin is a Lead QA Engineer with over a decade of QA experience and a Master's in Computer Science, specializing in SDET practices across mobile, web, desktop, API, and extension testing. He has designed and integrated automation frameworks and CI/CD test pipelines for startups and enterprises, bringing hands-on expertise in Appium, Selenium, Puppeteer, OpenCV, JMeter, and cloud device farms. Known for pragmatic engineering, he builds self-healing and visual-regression tests, designs reporting systems with Allure/TMFJ, and has migrated local mobile test farms to cloud platforms like Kobiton. Vladimir routinely bridges QA and DevOps—contributing to PR-driven pipelines with Docker, Jenkins, and Kubernetes—and mentors teams to raise automation maturity. Based in Pompano Beach, FL, he combines deep technical craft with a track record of introducing automation culture and custom tooling (including Jira plugins and in-house device farms) that aren’t obvious from job titles alone.

OWASP Benchmark is a test suite designed to verify the speed and accuracy of software vulnerability detection tools. A fully runnable web app written in Java, it supports analysis by Static (SAST), Dynamic (DAST), and Runtime (IAST) tools that support Java. The idea is that since it is fully runnable and all the vulnerabilities are actually exploitable, it’s a fair test for any kind of vulnerability detection tool. For more details on this project, please see the OWASP Benchmark Project home page.
