HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your background.
My name is Evan Witmer and most of my experience comes from the years I spent taking website product ideas companies had and making them a reality through full stack web development. Typically working with startups or small OTC Stock level companies that required taking the next step into product brand marketing these products. This is currently where I spend most of my time working with open source and other tech products on marketing and product fit.

Testkube is the software I want to bring before Hackernoon today. It is a cloud native test automation tool that is built for both testers and developers.
