Senior🎓
Top SchoolEsther Akinloose is a Test Engineer with eight years of software engineering experience based in Lagos, currently building editor-facing tools on Wikimedia Foundation’s Editing team. She combines a systems engineering background with hands-on testing—writing integration tests for MediaWiki during an Outreachy internship and applying TDD, Mocha, and Chai to ensure API stability. Esther has moved between full-stack and test-focused roles at Interswitch and startups, bringing practical experience across the stack and a habit of asking incisive questions to surface edge-case failures. She’s comfortable contributing to open-source workflows (Gerrit, Phabricator) and pairs curiosity about large-scale platforms with a proven track record of improving reliability for widely used systems like Wikipedia.
