Our Team
Stuart Philp
Manager, Firefox Test Engineering
IRC: sphilp
Email: sphilp@mozilla.com
Github: https://github.com/stuartphilp
The ring leader and person responsible for all of Fx Test’s tomfoolery. Previously a web developer turned Dev Ops guy, Stuart saw some industry trends changing in the way software is tested and deployed and decided that was the area for him. He now manages the Cloud/Web QA Team, where he leads the effort on pushing continuous delivery and higher quality standards across many Mozilla projects.
Working on:
- Long team strategies
- unblocking his team so they can be awesome
- other day to day activities

Karl has a knack for hanging around with people who are making the world a better place, so it’s really no surprise that he wound up at Mozilla. A colleague said of him once: “We were changing the world before changing the world was cool.” From helping to provide the first free UNIX services to students at UC Berkeley, to bringing the most effective HIV-prevention programs in San Francisco to the Web, to assisting engineers in designing earthquake-proof buildings, Karl has a fierce commitment to using computers to improve (and sometimes save) the lives of people.

- Sync
- One and Done
