Stephen Donner is a Senior QA Engineer with two decades of professional experience testing full-stack web software and over a decade in senior engineering roles across companies like Mozilla, Brave, and a stealth startup. He has led teams and shipped complex products—most recently driving Brave Talk Premium and the Brave Account flows across desktop and mobile—while championing accessibility and shifting testing left into design. At Mozilla he built tooling and CI integrations (including the wpt-api project and fxtest-jenkins-pipeline) that reduced test times and standardized security scanning, demonstrating a mix of hands-on automation, performance, and infrastructure work. Stephen combines deep exploratory testing and clear, reproducible test artifacts with scripting and CI automation (Python, Docker, Jenkins), making him effective at both leadership and implementation. He’s based in California and brings a pragmatic, cross-disciplinary approach informed by long-term involvement in browser and web-platform quality.
