Mikko Korpela has been around the block with Robot Framework. He's the person behind Pabot and has had his hands deep in Robot Framework Browser's code. Mikko's day job has taken him from web and mobile to tinkering with airplanes, satellites, and even forest harvesters. His latest project, rflogs.io, is his first solo dive into the SaaS world, aiming to make log handling easier for RF users.
