I’m a QA engineer with 3+ years in manual, automated, and accessibility testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Engineer with 3+ years of experience across manual, automated, and accessibility testing in public sector and regulated environments. I focus on test case design, defect analysis, and root-cause investigation, and I’m known for identifying systemic issues and driving process improvements that raise release quality.
I independently shipped Gridhopper, a keyboard accessibility Chrome Extension, directing AI-assisted development as sole PM and QA from gap identification through production release. In my work, I’ve consolidated 96 granular test cases into 11 E2E scenarios to improve automation readiness, automated critical workflows with Cypress, and converted legacy VBScript tests to Selenium WebDriver—cutting regression cycle time from 5 days to overnight. I also use Lighthouse and Axe for accessibility testing aligned with WCAG and AODA, and I collaborate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to ensure defects are documented, reproduced, fixed, and prevented from recurring.
