Jaswanth Manigundan | Activities

I’m Jas from Melbourne. I currently work at Culture Amp as an Engineering Manager after spending a good part of my time there as a Staff Quality Coach, specialising in test automation, observability and testability.

I have worked in the mobile app development space for almost a decade, where I saw mobile devices and operating systems get better and better by the day. My fascination towards mobile devices made me start my professional career as a mobile app developer. But my quest to build better apps and write code that is much more testable lead me to transition into a test automation engineer specialising in mobile.

Since then, I’ve gradually explored a wide variety of test automation frameworks and have consulted for some of the leading software teams in Australia to build efficient test automation suites for both mobile and web apps.

I have spoken about my test automation journey in a variety of testing conferences like the Ministry of Testing’s Testbashes, Automation Guild (by TestGuild) and Saucelabs’ Saucecon.

I previously worked at Culture Amp alongside the legendary Anne-Marie Charrett helping build a passionate quality enablement team.

I worked with test automation frameworks (functionality, contract and load) for APIs, web apps, micro-services and event sourced systems.

How I lead the AI Coach team as an Engineering Manager. I spent the last couple of years learning and experimenting with GenAI tech, eventually landing in the GenAI product team shipping agentic software to production and keeping up/leaning about it along the way.

Come join me in this journey. Start with my latest course on How to test GenAI agents (by building one) over at MoTaverse.
