Fred Mottey

Built with care. Checked for accessibility, broken links, and performance.

I build the tests, tooling and pipelines that let engineering teams ship with confidence.

I'm Fred, a quality engineer. Most recently I was Principal SDET at Expel. Right now I'm building a home lab to go deeper on platform engineering, and writing down what I learn along the way.
