Hi, I'm Fern Leigh.

QA & Automation | Senior Software Enineer | A11y SME

I build robust, accessible, and highly tested web applications. With a dual background in software development and technical quality assurance, I bridge the gap between building fast and building right.

Enterprise Experience

My most impactful work is locked safely behind enterprise NDAs. I have spent my career building, testing, and scaling robust applications for complex domains, bridging the gap between rapid development and rigorous quality assurance.

The Engineering Lab

A collection of side projects, experiments, and conceptual builds where I test new frameworks and A11y patterns.
