Summary
👤
SeniorPeng Yao is a pragmatic SDET with 13+ years building automated test frameworks and quality platforms for large-scale web and backend systems, currently driving AI-enabled self-test services at Amazon using AWS, LangChain, Kendra, and Bedrock. He combines deep hands-on skills in Java, Selenium/Appium, TestNG, concurrency, and cloud architectures (ECS, Device Farm, DynamoDB, S3) to turn manual QA bottlenecks into self-service, CI-integrated solutions that shorten release cycles and increase coverage. At Amazon he built a Quality Dashboard and network-connected Device Farm solution that materially sped releases and enabled remote device testing across internal networks. Earlier work at Weibo and CA Technologies delivered high-impact performance and UI automation tools that saved production costs and standardized load testing practices. An active open-source contributor, he improved salt-ssh security and private key support in the widely used SaltStack project, showing attention to ops-level robustness as well as test automation. Based in Sammamish, WA, he blends practical engineering with process redesign to make teams faster and more reliable.
