Google Cloud Platform | Test Engineering Tech Lead, Accessibility 2019 - 2021
Leadership: Built the GCP Accessibility test team from the ground up, hiring and mentoring 7 exceptional a11y test engineers. Advocated for and helped create the formal Accessibility Analyst role and career ladder at Google.
Strategy: Defined the 2020 test roadmap and horizontal OKRs focused on scaling accessibility regression testing across Google Cloud. These decisions impacted over 100 GCP feature teams.
Framework Architecture: Devised and implemented an automated testing framework using aXe libraries for accessibility tree and screen diffing, enabling GCP feature teams to integrate a11y testing directly into their existing integration test suites.
Compliance at Scale: Led a cross-functional horizontal (Eng, PM, UX) to ensure all new GCP features could successfully publish a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template), certifying Section 508 compliance.
Google Cloud Platform | Senior Test Engineer 2013 - 2016, 2019 - 2021
Foundational Testing: In the wild beginnings of GCP, I wrote many of the first integration tests for the unified console. That early work scaled to a system that now gates thousands of tests for hundreds of release candidates weekly, enabling reliable bi-weekly launches.
Mobile: Stood up the Espresso testing framework for the GCP mobile app.
Release Engineering: Performed critical front-end testing and build-copping to maintain release velocity and stability.
People and Sharing, Google | Senior Test Engineer 2016 - 2019
Turndown: Orchestrated the testing strategy for the monumental G+ turndown, untangling the chains of the social graph from core People APIs. I identified risks and oversaw testing for 10+ components, ensuring a smooth transition for critical client services.
Tooling: Designed and built a configuration visualization tool for the People Stack to combat postmortems caused by misconfigurations. This tool provided immediate clarity on settings across clients, components, and platforms.
Launches & Integrations: Led test planning and execution for major product launches, including Location Sharing in Android/Maps, Photos Direct Share, and Ephemeral Accounts.
Framework Implementation!: Implemented a new Battery Testing Framework to measure and prevent regressions in power consumption.
Intern Hosting: Scoped and managed an intern projects to build an ML-driven system that automatically filed bugs for performance regressions.
Google/Apple Exposure Notifications | Senior Test Engineer 2020
Authored the initial server-side test plan for the global COVID-19 Exposure Notifications system, a critical, rapid-response collaboration between Google and Apple.
ITA Software (acq. by Google) | Test Engineer, Cape Air Passenger Service System 2008 - 2013
Ah, airline software - my first love. I specialized in testing communications between legacy airline systems and our new XML-based platform. Developed test plans and authored automated regression tests within an in-house Java framework.
Spent 16 lovely days at Hyannis airport (HYA) as on-site agent launch support, ensuring a smooth live rollout.
I get this question a lot. My interview language of choice is Java—it's my "program yourself out of a paper bag in an emergency" language. However, a look at my recent commits shows I'm fluent and productive in:
Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Shell, HTML
Test Frameworks: aXe, Espresso, Selenium/WebDriver, various in-house frameworks
Specialties: AI Safety & Red-Teaming, Accessibility (a11y), API Testing, Test Strategy, CI/CD
GTAC (Google Test Automation Conference) Co-founder, Diversity Scholarship | 2014 - 2017
Co-founded the scholarship initiative. I built the program from scratch—from creating the application and review process to handling legal approvals and travel logistics.
