Kyle Thomson

Kyle Thomson is a senior engineer who spent a decade writing large-scale trading applications for banks before joining Amazon’s AWS SDK team. Testing and software quality have always been a focus for Kyle, and he’s driven adoption of TDD, BDD, and other testing techniques across many teams. The transition from application developer to library developer has given him a newfound appreciation of the fact that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all testing strategy, and quality is the overarching goal. The majority of Kyle’s experience is in JVM languages, but he’s also written (and tested) enterprise software in Python, Perl, Objective-C, and Ruby.
