Emily O'Connor
Principal Quality Engineer
She/Her

Technical leader and QE with a sixth sense for bugs. Avid learner and reader interested in decoding “dev-speak” to enable engineering teams to adopt automation and AI accelerated quality engineering. I believe good software starts with user-focused problem solving and that automation should provide information on regression bugs that PMs actually care about fixing.
