About Me

Hi, I'm Lauren! I'm a seasoned QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience ensuring software quality across web, mobile, and desktop applications. I specialize in both meticulous manual testing and building robust automated test suites, always eager to integrate new tech (like AI) to keep testing efficient and effective.

By day I’m hunting bugs and streamlining processes; by night I’m coding quirky web tools and indie games. This blend of rigor and creativity gives me a unique perspective on problem-solving. I love delivering quality software and making the development process smoother for everyone.

Outside of work, you might find me riding a roller coaster or crafting the perfect cocktail. I'm currently open to new opportunities and freelance projects where I can help teams ship with confidence.
