About Me

My name is Stanislav but I go by Stan. I am a Staff Software Engineer based in San Jose, California, specializing in test automation. Currently working for Nautilus biotechnology (proteomics), I focus on developing comprehensive test strategies and building automation frameworks that empower development teams to shift testing left.

With extensive experience across software and hardware automation (both consumer and medical devices) with experience in mobile, artificial intelligence, and firmware, I bring a holistic approach to quality assurance. I believe in creating robust, maintainable automation solutions that not only validate functionality but also enhance the development process itself.

My passion lies in building tools and frameworks that make testing more accessible and efficient for development teams. I emphasize observability and data-driven decision-making in my approach, ensuring that testing strategies not only validate functionality but also provide meaningful insights into system behavior and performance.

My areas of expertise span across developing full-stack test automation for UI, APIs, firmware, and hardware interfaces. I have deep experience in various programming languages including Python, JavaScript, Kotlin, Java, Ruby, and C++ (currently exploring rust 🦀), allowing me to create versatile automation solutions that adapt to different technological needs. Whether it's implementing CI/CD pipelines, developing software/hardware automation frameworks, or creating cloud-based testing infrastructure, I focus on delivering solutions that scale and adapt to evolving technological landscapes.
