I make better software, whether I’m testing it or building it.

More than a decade in software quality shapes how I design, build, and test software. My own apps give me room to work through the whole process, from the first idea to something people can use.

What I work on

Quality engineering & consulting

QA strategy, exploratory testing, automation, and quality reviews that help a team understand its risks and decide what to address.

Apps & websites

My own apps and websites are where I put product design, development, and testing into practice.

AI-assisted engineering workflows

I use AI across the QA process, from analyzing requirements and planning coverage to supporting exploratory testing, reporting, and automated test creation. The workflow is designed around review and verification rather than handing decisions over to the model.

Apps of my own

Personal interests turned into products I design, build, and look after.

Every ride
has a story.

Coastory

In beta

A place to keep your roller coaster history, revisit park visits, and remember the details of each ride.

My own product, from the first concept through development, testing, and beta.

A little room
for your day.

Rooklet

In beta

A day-planning app for tasks, habits, meals, and movement. Capture something now, give it a rough week or month, or choose an exact day. Use the parts that help you and leave the rest.

My independent planning app, now in beta on iOS and Android.

My background in quality

I’ve worked across healthcare, manufacturing, fintech, and SaaS. My work brings me into the whole development process: clarifying what’s needed, finding risks early, and helping teams understand what’s ready.

IGS Energy (contract)2025–present

I own QA for a CRM team across planning, testing, automation, and release, including AI-assisted workflows.

QA consulting2025–present

QA strategy, API testing, and payment-flow testing, with experience across startups and SaaS teams.

Centauri Health Solutions2020–2025

Manual and automated testing across healthcare software, with shared processes and documentation for the teams using it.

Shoptech Software2014–2020

Test automation and delivery infrastructure across desktop, web, and mobile software.

There’s usually a personal reason.

Most of what I build starts with something I care about and a tool I wish existed. Coastory grew out of roller coasters; Rooklet grew out of wanting everyday planning to work a little better for me.
