Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Wong is a software engineer with seven years of experience, most recently transitioning from a long tenure at Microsoft to independent work. At Microsoft he focused on test automation and quality engineering, notably improving the Windows Calculator test suite by fixing failing tests, expanding coverage for date calculations, and enhancing graphing calculator accessibility with automation names and tooltips. Based in the Greater Seattle Area and trained in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto, he brings a strong engineering foundation to reliability and UX-focused automation. Now self-employed and "funemployed," he combines deep QA expertise with a product-minded approach to make interfaces more testable and usable. An understated strength is his ability to turn brittle tests into durable, maintainable suites that directly improve everyday user tools.
