Hi, I'm Bansri (Ben) Desai, a accessibility-focused QA professional with hands-on experience testing web and mobile apps for WCAG 2.1/2.2 compliance across banking, e-commerce, healthcare, and insurance domains. I thrive on turning complex accessibility requirements into clear test plans, leveraging screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) and automated tools like WAVE, Lighthouse, and axe to identify issues early and drive fixes with cross-functional teams. Beyond accessibility, I design scalable Playwright-based test frameworks in JavaScript/TypeScript using Page Object Model, automate end-to-end and API tests, and integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Jenkins). I enjoy collaborating with product, design, and dev teams to deliver inclusive, high-quality software and support UAT with precise data validation.
