About Brooks Goodwin

I am an experienced engineering manager with a strong track record of defining quality standards, building teams and driving successful delivery in agile environments. As the first QA hire at my current company, I built our testing strategy from the ground up and scaled processes as the engineering organization grew—introducing optimized workflows, automation and a quality-first mindset across teams.My background spans both manual and automated testing for web and native applications, and I am used to working closely with product, engineering, and DevOps to integrate quality throughout the development lifecycle.I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and always eager to grow—whether that means learning new tools or taking on challenges outside my comfort zone. Open to connecting with others in tech, QA, or engineering leadership.
