Quality assurance and accessibility specialist delivering empathetic, technical testing leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am a fiercely self-driven quality assurance engineer and web accessibility specialist with extensive manual and automated testing experience in EdTech. I build and maintain test suites, design accessibility programs from scratch, mentor teams, and create clear, discoverable documentation that reduces bugs and improves timelines.
I lead cross-domain collaboration—supporting product, UX, engineering, and support—while championing accessible design and user-focused solutions. My work has unblocked sales, transformed internal practices, and provided measurable improvements in accessibility conformance and product reliability.
