Summary
Xavier Ramirez is a pragmatic software engineer with a decade of professional experience and 3+ years focused on building test automation frameworks for both UI and industrial systems. He has hands-on expertise integrating Playwright, Python, and PLC protocols (Pylogix/OPC UA) to validate end-to-end signal flow and simulate equipment behavior, and he has containerized those systems with Docker and MicroK8s to enable scalable, parallel testing. Comfortable across front-end logic and industrial control stacks, he also developed Unity3D/LabVIEW simulation prototypes and translated low-level Studio 5000 PLC logic into actionable test coverage. Xavier combines strong QA instincts with practical DevOps skills—designing CI/CD-ready test infrastructure and troubleshooting at OS and firmware levels—which makes him effective in fast-paced, interdisciplinary teams. Based in Houston, he brings a customer-focused mindset from earlier front-end and retail roles, often surfacing usability issues early in technical validations.
