About

I enjoy understanding how systems behave under the surface, and I'm currently building a QA automation portfolio using Python and Playwright to put that into practice.

I've led QA in team projects: reviewing requirements from a QA perspective before development began, designing manual and automated tests with pytest and Django's testing framework, and flagging usability concerns alongside strict defect identification, from validating access control in Django to testing multithreaded Java programs with JUnit for concurrency bugs. In individual projects, I've focused on refining user flows, improving accessibility, and ensuring stable performance across devices and themes, including debugging UI issues in Flutter.

Alongside this, I have experience in data science and geospatial analysis, using GeoPandas and Python's data stack (pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, scikit-learn) to work with public datasets.

During my internship at Whitestein Technologies, I reviewed RESTful API documentation and contributed to best-practice guidelines — work that sharpened how I think about documenting systems clearly for other developers, not just building them.

I'm motivated by creating software that is reliable, accessible, and genuinely helpful, especially in public-sector and community-focused contexts, and I enjoy bringing a quality-driven, user-centred mindset to collaborative work.
