About
I am an experienced Software Engineer with over 8 years of proven track record in the Information Technology & Services Industry. I hold a Master of Computer Applications degree with a specialization in Networking and Data Communications.
My expertise lies in automating repetitive tasks, encompassing both process automation & practical work. I have a strong command of various technologies, including Web, Mobile, and Document Accessibility (WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2) Development, Testing, Auditing, and Fixing the a11y defects, with proficiency in standards such as W3C and WAI-Aria. My skill set extends to Automation Testing using tools like Selenium, programming lang like Java, JavaScript, Python, Visual Basic, as well as web technologies such as HTML and CSS. I have experience with TestNG, Maven, MVC, Framework Design, Prompt Engineering, Web Design, and Network / Desktop Administration.
I am well-versed in using Azure, Jira, Git, TFS, Eclipse, and PowerApps. Additionally, I specialize in A11Y tools such as Site Improve, Wave, aXe, Color Contrast Analyzer, ARC, Screen Magnifier, NVDA, Narrator, Jaws, VoiceOver, TalkBack, Voice Access, Zoom Text, ANDI, HTML Code Sniffer, A11y Viewer, Text Spacing, Nu Checker, ARC ToolKit, and many more.
I'm certified in Accessibility (Design, Development, Testing), as well as Selenium, Java, Python, Microsoft Azure DevOps & Security, and Full Stack Development. I've received multiple recognitions for Hybrid Frameworks and A11Y expertise.
My passion lies in promoting A11Y and providing training to individuals w/wo disabilities. I am committed to creating an inclusive world, guided by Tim Berners-Lee's vision.
As a significant milestone, I have successfully trained people with disabilities from PBMA, Pune, leading to their successful employment after completion of the training program.
I have built multiple bookmarks and automation tools that greatly assist testers in identifying defects and efficiently logging them. I have automated the entire defect identification and resolution process, resulting in the successful handling of over 120 applications and approximately 15,000 webpages within a span of 8 months, all while maintaining the highest levels of quality.
