Curtis Matthews
QA Manager, Stoplight.io & RepeatMD

I was Trey’s manager in his two most recent roles – first, at Stoplight for 1+ years, and then when we were both downsized in 2023 I brought him on to anchor a new automation team at RepeatMD.

 

Trey is one of the best developers of any capacity I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. As an SDET, his knowledge of Playwright and Cypress is unmatched, but his broad knowledge of TypeScript, Node, databases, etc. allows him to contribute to software quality at a much deeper level (examples: testability of software and development of test tooling; performance; improving dev experience).

 

Above all that, Trey really deeply cares about his work and the mission of improving the quality of software. He’s a great team player and I’ve had so many of the developers and QA engineers he’s paired with say how much they appreciate his contributions and his willingness to help.

 

I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for an automation rockstar.

Alan Feldman
Eng. Manager, AT&T Wi-Fi & Invodo

Trey is an exceptional QA automation engineer with a very strong and diverse background building test automation frameworks, using proprietary and third party tools, and training/guiding QA and development teams in the execution of automation test suites. He’s extremely analytical, able to deliver on difficult and challenging tasks, and brought innovative solutions for functional, performance, and load test automation of Invodo’s media asset platform, content management, and reporting/analytics systems as well as the Invodo video player. He would be a great asset for any team looking to incorporate or improve QA/test automation into their product delivery processes.

Test Engineer II, Kapsch & SDET, Stoplight

I reported to Trey at Kapsch, and we worked as colleagues at Stoplight. I hadn’t finished interviewing at Kapsch before something stuck out about him. He asked a question I couldn’t answer, but rather than hold it over my head, he included the answer and some helpful documentation in a follow-up email thanking me for my time.

 

And I think that sums Trey up perfectly: he genuinely cares about people. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and always uses it to help others in any way. He’ll drop whatever he’s working on to help resolve an issue that threatens the mission. He puts everything into his craft, and it shows in the quality of work produced.

 

He set a standard to which I hold my coworkers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Test Engineer II, Kapsch

Trey possesses a rare combination of personality traits that lend well to having personable interactions among team members and conveying intricate technical subject matter. I entered my first automation role under Trey’s leadership, and while my initial undertakings felt daunting in the beginning, Trey was always there to offer much needed support in a positive and non-judging manner. He is patient, encouraging, fun, and pushes you to better yourself by provoking thought rather than simply giving you answers. He goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure everyone on the team has what they need to be successful, even if it means working extra hours. I think it takes a special kind of individual to really pull off such quality management, and Trey is certainly among that rare breed.

Test Engineer II, Kapsch

I had the pleasure of working with Trey as our Test Engineering Manager at Kapsch, and he was fantastic. His experience and knowledge were invaluable to our team. With his help, we all learned new skills and became more efficient at what we do.

 

Trey always made sure we worked well together and supported each other. He encouraged us to take charge of our work, projects, and automated test repositories. With Trey as our manager, the team accomplished a lot and always delivered top-notch work.

 

I highly recommend Trey for any job in test engineering or leadership. He’s a valuable asset to any company, and I’m sure he’ll do great wherever he goes.

Jim Carlile
Test Engineer, Kapsch

Trey assumed a leadership role in our company and built a highly effective software testing team from the ground up. His unique and deep expertise in automated testing elevated both the projects and people under his supervision. He consistently removed roadblocks, streamlined processes, and provided sound long-term strategic vision.

 

Trey’s leadership style ensured that objectives were clearly established while giving you plenty of room to grow. During the time we worked together, I always appreciated Trey’s thoughtful mentorship and even-keeled demeanor. His team-first attitude and genuine care for the people he works with made it a pleasure to have Trey as an engineering manager.

Eng. Manager, RepeatMD

I worked with Trey for a few months at RepeatMD. Trey is a wonderful personality to work with and I wish I had more chances to work closer with him just to hang out. He is approachable, excited to collaborate and either learn from others or educate others. He is never afraid to ask questions to help drive best practices for our automated test environments. Any quality-driven organization has a lot to gain from hiring Trey.

Chris Lanzo
Senior SDET, Stoplight.io

I worked with Trey at Stoplight. Trey is an extremely sharp SDET (and developer, in general) who has a real passion for quality. He can do it all – from setting up testing infrastructure, integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines, hooking up test reporting, debugging complex product bugs, and developing tooling to make the developer experience better. He’s also a great mentor, and I really valued his feedback while working with him.

 

I can’t think of anyone I’d recommend higher if you’re ready to level up your quality.

Trey has proven himself as an invaluable asset time and time again by bringing new QA technologies in and implementing them. His expertise extends far beyond QA, and I would jump at the chance to work with him again.

QA Engineer, AT&T Wi-Fi

Trey is able to understand an entire ecosystem of software to investigate and isolate bugs and recognize risk. A strong developer and intelligent test engineer, he is well spoken, friendly, thorough yet concise – he is an excellent teacher and eager to share knowledge as well as expand his own understanding.
