Top SchoolJulia Amosova is a seasoned Quality Engineering leader with 9 years of experience building global QA teams and embedding reliability into product and engineering culture.

Comfortable moving between code, infrastructure, and customer-facing support, she leverages frontline merchant support experience to prioritize real user flows. An open-source contributor to the widely used WooCommerce repo, she focuses on robust test architectures that improve release confidence and developer experience.
