What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in QA or accessibility where I can lead cross-functional teams, drive accessibility-first migrations to web, improve automation frameworks, and mentor testers within an Agile environment.

I have over 20 years in IT as a Quality Assurance Manager, engineer, and accessibility specialist, focusing on migrations from legacy desktop systems to centralized web platforms and ensuring accessibility compliance.

I have led teams up to 22 members, developed and expanded automation frameworks using Java, Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber, TestNG, and CI tools like Jenkins and Azure DevOps, and managed end-to-end testing for state and enterprise clients.

I mentor and train teams on WCAG 2.1 and Section 508, perform hands-on accessibility testing with assistive technologies and industry tools, and hold Azure certifications (AZ-900, AZ-304, AZ-400). I seek to lead QA and accessibility initiatives that improve product quality, automation, and cross-team collaboration.
