// Why I Do This Work

/*
I'm happiest
when I'm solving hard problems—
untangling complex systems,
improving test reliability,
and making sure technology works
for everyone,
including users who rely on
accessibility tools.
I enjoy mentoring engineers,
simplifying processes,
and leaving systems
better than I found them.
Quality, to me,
isn't just about finding bugs—
it's about building trust.
*/

// What I Want to Work On Next

/*
I want to work on
meaningful, large-scale systems
where quality, accessibility,
and reliability truly matter.
I'm excited by environments
that value strong engineering practices,
collaboration,
and thoughtful leadership—
where I can continue to
build modern automation frameworks,
ensure inclusive digital experiences,
and mentor teams toward
higher standards of quality.
