Test Specialist · IBM

Building software that doesn't break when it matters most.

I design test strategies, automate quality gates, and dig into systems until I understand exactly how they fail — and how to keep them from doing it.

Test Specialist at IBM

Focus
Test automation, CI/CD, performance
Status
Open to interesting conversations

I'm a software quality engineer who believes the best bugs are the ones caught before anyone else has to think about them. My day-to-day is a mix of writing automation, reviewing code with a skeptic's eye, and partnering with developers to ship features that hold up under real-world pressure.

At IBM, I work on enterprise-scale products where reliability isn't a nice-to-have — it's the whole product. That context has shaped how I think about testing: less about checking boxes, more about understanding systems deeply enough to know where they're brittle.

When I'm not chasing down test failures, I'm exploring new tooling, contributing to internal best-practice guides, and quietly advocating for the unglamorous-but-essential work that makes software trustworthy.
