Emily Wisniewski is a product-minded engineer with 10 years of experience blending front-end development, test automation, and product strategy, currently driving product at Cypress.io. She transitioned from senior engineering roles into product and liaison positions, giving her a rare combination of hands-on coding (React, Node.js, test suites) and product stewardship across CI/CD and developer tooling. Emily has contributed meaningfully to prominent open-source projects at Cypress and Cerner—improving accessibility and keyboard interactions in Terra, building and maintaining Cypress Docker images, and enhancing real-world E2E test suites. She’s comfortable across the stack, from UI component work and documentation to backend integrations with CI systems like CircleCI. Based in Lincoln, Nebraska, Emily pairs pragmatic engineering with a user-focused product lens, often surfacing developer pain points into shipped features. Colleagues benefit from her testing-first mindset and experience turning complex platform needs into clear developer workflows.
