I’m Kevin Roe, a Senior SDET at Ramsey Solutions and a quality engineer since 2012. That’s 14 years of building test automation frameworks, breaking them in creative new ways, and occasionally rebuilding them better than before. This is where I write about the tools, patterns, and hard-won lessons that come out of actually shipping test automation — not the sanitized, bullet-pointed version, but the real one. When I’m not testing software, I’m teaching middle and high schoolers to code, flying FPV drones, spending time with my family, and staying active in my church community.
