About Me
I'm always looking to learn and experience new and interesting things. I've studied Philosophy and Computer Science, and I'm a humanist at my core.
I've studied both disciplines — one teaches me how to think, the other teaches me how to build. I try not to separate them.
As a QA Engineer, I care deeply about the craft. Good software isn't just functional — it's thoughtful, resilient, and human.
People come first. Every system, product, or process I work on has a human being at the other end of it.
What I Do
A blend of technical rigour, philosophical thinking, and genuine care for people and products.
End-to-end test planning, manual & automated testing, defect lifecycle management, and release validation.
Building robust automated test suites that catch regressions early and give teams confidence to ship.
Trained in formal logic and philosophical reasoning — I ask the uncomfortable questions before users do.
Identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies in software delivery pipelines and proposing thoughtful solutions.
Bridging the gap between developers, product managers, and stakeholders to build shared understanding.
Always exploring — whether it's a new testing tool, a philosophy text, or an interesting engineering problem.
Open-source software, Python, hardware projects, and the tools I actually use.
The commercial LoveBox starts in black and white and upsells from there. I built an open-source version on a Pimoroni Presto with full color, Telegram-driven messages, RGB LEDs, touch replies, and no subscription required.
An Adafruit Gemma v2, a 16-LED NeoPixel ring, a LiPo battery, and a Tiffany box. Here is how the pendant(s) came together.
How a web scraper 'Just for fun' project turned into a Telegram bot that scrapes, filters, and delivers personalized alerts to multiple people automatically.
Coffee roasting, sourdough, kombucha, photography, and whatever else is on the workbench.
Two weeks in: no SCOBY, no equipment, just a bottle of store-bought kombucha and a lot of questions. Here is how the first batch actually went.
A first journal entry: what this space is for, and a quick tour of the hobbies that keep me busy when I step away from the screen.
