Hi, my name is

Anderson Vanegas.

I help put quality into software.

Senior SQA Engineer with 7 years of experience in manual testing and 3 years in automation testing. Currently at Boston Dynamics, building Python tooling, Appium-driven mobile tests, and CI/CD pipelines that run nightly on HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing which help keep robots and software reliable.

About Me

I'm an SQA engineer who cares about shipping software that is makes sense, works, and meets customer expectations. I started my career in manually testing consumer home robotic products and have expanded into automation, CI/CD, and helping to create tooling to scale up testing, not just for myself, but for developers as well.

More recently, I've been learning and keeping up with the latest agentic tools in order to expand my knowledge into new domains and accelerate my workflows.

I hold a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Boston University and work day-to-day with:

  • ▹ Python
  • ▹ Appium
  • ▹ Jenkins / Buildkite
  • ▹ Jira / Confluence
  • ▹ Zephyr / X-Ray / TestRails
  • ▹ Linux / Bash / Windows
