Hello, I'm
Abigail Armijo

QA Engineer & Developer passionate about automation and quality software.

About Me

Engineering Quality,
Building with Passion

I am a SDET with 14 years as a developer and 6 years in QA, architecting robust automation solutions for complex systems. My true passion lies in bridging the gap between quality and empathy—ensuring that technology serves everyone, regardless of ability. As a leader, I've mentored teams of up to 5 engineers, fostering a culture where quality is a shared responsibility and accessibility is never an afterthought.

I believe quality is about people, not just code. While I love to automate, my mission is to advocate for inclusive design and mentor teams to build software that is accessible, resilient, and human-centered.

Technical Skills

Impact Highlights

Key case studies where automation and proactiveness delivered measurable results.

Quality Engineering Innovation & Modernization

Challenge

A high-stakes migration from WebForms to Angular was hindered by a painful, friction-heavy environment setup/update process that typically took several days to complete for each engineer.

Automation

I spearheaded an innovation-led strategy to automate the friction away. I co-authored a unified PowerShell script for Dev/QA setup with self-healing logic, facilitating seamless adoption for both new hires and existing engineering teams.

Impact

Reduced environment setup time from several painful days to under one day. Won multiple internal awards for innovation, mentoring, and testing mindset. Empowered multiple teams to successfully adopt automated testing practices.

Incident Management Icon

Automated Incident Validation (ServiceNow PoC)

Challenge

A critical need for rapid verification of global e-commerce incidents across different regions, which previously relied on slow, manual cross-platform investigation.

Automation

As a consultant, I delivered a Proof of Concept that triggered targeted, region-specific automated tests immediately after a ServiceNow ticket creation, updating results back to the ticket. I leveraged my DevOps background to resolve complex integration hurdles that had blocked the team for weeks.

Impact

Broke through technical stagnation by delivering a working solution in days where others had struggled. The successful demo proved that incident verification could be reduced from hours to minutes

HA/DR Resilience for E-commerce

Challenge

Validating AWS multi-zone failover for an e-commerce platform. The system relied on specific API headers for zone routing, which I identified as missing during the pre-testing phase.

Automation

Bridged organizational silos by proactively coordinating with cross-functional teams to ensure implementation readiness. Architected an automated TestCafe suite featuring a custom Slack bot integration that streamed real-time results to a centralized dashboard.

Impact

My automation identified failover issues that manual testing overlooked. I was honored with the 'Do the Right Thing' award for my commitment to providing comprehensive test coverage and rapidly implemented and adjusted automated solutions.

Accessibility Icon

Automated Accessibility (a11y) Engineering

Challenge

An EdTech platform for K-12 education required accessibility compliance. The team struggled to interpret complex manual audit spreadsheets, leading to slow remediation and inconsistent results.

Automation

I architected an automated accessibility testing strategy using Playwright and Axe-deque. I developed a custom reporting engine that transformed accessibility bugs into visual dashboards featuring bug-type charts, summary analytics, automated video evidence of errors, and direct links to WCAG documentation.

Impact

Transformed a slow, manual audit process into a data-driven remediation cycle. I also directly contributed to fixing accessibility bugs as a developer, ensuring faster time-to-compliance for production features.
