Emily O'Connor

Principal Quality Engineer

She/Her

Technical leader with a sixth sense for bugs. Avid learner, passionate about translating "dev-speak" to enable teams adopt automation and AI-accelerated quality engineering. I believe great software starts with user-focused problem solving, and automation should surface the bugs that PMs actually care about fixing.
