About

Software engineer (SDET) based in Germany. I design and automate end-to-end testing for web products with tools like Cypress and Playwright. A growing part of my work is building agentic, LLM-driven testing workflows that surface bugs and validate releases. I like systems that stay useful as products grow.

Outside work I run a homelab and use GNU/Linux daily, and I've been dabbling with web development for a long time. My taste runs toward brutalist architecture, Bauhaus, and Dieter Rams. Things that feel finished. That sensibility carries over into how I approach engineering.

I studied English Literature, co-authored a poetry book called Rhymery, and taught English for a few years before engineering. Some of what I write ends up here.
