Impact highlights

Reduced regression execution time by 35–40% with a Playwright + BDD suite covering API, UI, accessibility, and K6 load.
Drove WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance directly in production React code — 400+ commits across ARIA, color contrast, keyboard activation, and touch targets.
Containerized the test suite on GCP Cloud Run across QA, QA-Auto, and Hotfix environments — multi-env CI/CD with KMS-managed secrets.
Shipped 50+ Interviewer Portal scenarios covering availability lifecycle, bulk-cancel, and suppression cascades.
Led automation modernization across multiple companies — Selenium → Cypress, then Cypress → Playwright.
Built internal QA productivity tooling for accessibility debugging, bug RCA, edge-case generation, and PR review.
