01ABOUT
A bit about
how I work.
I’m a software quality engineer with more than five years of experience across Apple’s developer tools. I like getting into the details: understanding how a feature is used, finding where it can fail, and making the results clear to the team.
My work brings together test strategy, hands-on validation, automation, and close partnership with engineering, design, and project management.
Currently in San Diego, California
