About Jaswanth Manigundan

Jaswanth Manigundan

Jas is currently a Lead Quality Coach at Culture Amp and specializes in test automation and testability. He’s worked in the mobile app development space for almost a decade, where he’s seen mobile devices and operating systems get better and better by the day. Jas’s fascination with mobile devices made him start his professional career as a mobile app developer. But he’s desire to build better apps and write code that is much more testable led him to transition into a test automation engineer specializing in mobile. So he has a ton of experience with a wide variety of test automation frameworks and has consulted for some of the leading mobile app teams in Australia to build efficient test automation suites for mobile apps.
