I am passionate about the Customer, and a firm believer that small things can make a big impact. I am also an automation enthusiast. I believe that hours spent performing manual testing, where automation is a similar one-time investment, are hours wasted. That is not to say manual testing is not valuable and very often essential, but it simply isn't scalable in the long term. My understanding of what it means to work as a QA in an Agile world is constantly evolving. More and more, I am of the opinion that QA should stand for "quality advocate", and the role should be more about proactively baking quality into the process through and through (from beginning to end), rather than a reactive approach. I enjoy problem-solving, and I am analytical by nature. I also have interest in the fields of cyber security, hacking/penetration testing, load testing, and software development. Outside of work, you can find me spending time with my family (including five cats -- Pandora, Tennant, and Rachmaninoff, Eccleston, and Prada).
