I've spent the last 13+ years helping companies catch problems before their customers do — building test automation from scratch, standing up QA functions where none existed, and making sure releases don't rely on hope.

My day-to-day toolkit is TypeScript/JavaScript-heavy: Playwright and Vitest for E2E and API testing, K6 with Grafana/InfluxDB for performance and load testing, and GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure pipelines to wire it all into CI/CD so quality gates actually gate something. I've also worked in Python and PHP where the project called for it.

I've built QA teams and processes from the ground up at companies like United Remote and RS2 Software, and most recently worked across iGaming and fintech environments (Almond Gaming, HM Malta/Yolo Entertainment). So I'm equally comfortable writing the tests myself or setting up the structure so a team can scale without quality falling apart. What I care about most doesn't always show up in a test report — asking whether a feature actually makes sense before it ships, and making testing feel like a partner in the process rather than a gate at the end.
