About Me

Welcome To My Profile
I am Chris Heder

I’m a Senior QA Engineer, maker, and self-proclaimed nerd based in South Florida.

My professional work focuses on software quality, test automation, and making sure web, mobile, and API-driven products work reliably.

Outside of work, I enjoy designing and building things of my own, especially projects involving smart-home tech, DIY electronics, 3D printing, woodworking, and vintage technology.

This site brings together my professional experience, personal projects, and the things I’ve learned while creating them.

Welcome to my profile

Senior QA Engineer

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with more than nine years of experience across web, mobile, e-commerce, and API-driven platforms. My work focuses on test strategy, automation, and end-to-end release validation, with API testing and Postman being the parts of QA I enjoy most. I like understanding how systems connect, finding where they can break, and building reliable test coverage that gives teams greater confidence in every release.

Throughout my career, I’ve owned major testing lanes, led quality efforts for complex releases, and built automation using tools such as Robot Framework, Selenide, Selenium, JavaScript, Python, and Java. I’ve also mentored and trained QA engineers, supported onboarding and cross-training, and worked closely with product and engineering teams to improve processes, manage risk, and prevent issues before they reach production.
