He's goal is to improve the testing landscape by crafting tools and robust testing infrastructure that empower individuals and organizations to test smarter and simpler

Lauren Borodajko - Has been working with and around automation since 2018. With many organisations moving to continuous deployment strategies, automation testing has become more critical than ever. As with anything, what you put in really matters, which means figuring out the right strategy for automated testing. Lauren hardly writes any tests these days. Instead, she supports development teams by guiding them down their testing journey, strategising and removing risk as they move forward. Over the years, Lauren has used various tools and frameworks, which led her to conclude that anyone can learn how to use tools, and it is the strategy where the quality mind thrives.
