I build software that works, and the tools that prove it.

QA lead and builder of test automation, web tools and AI workflows. I help teams ship with fewer surprises.

Quality, built in from the start.

I'm a QA lead who likes making releases uneventful. I started as a business analyst, moved into testing in 2017, and since then I've built a QA team from scratch, tested web, mobile and API products end to end, and handled everything from test strategy to hiring.

On the side I build the tools I wish my teams had: AI-assisted test generators, load-testing studios, task boards, chat bots, and even a free learning-games site for kids. I speak up early in kickoffs, ask "what happens if I click this?" a lot, and would rather ship a boring release than a heroic fix.

Some of these are internal tools, so I describe what they do and why they exist, not how they're configured.
