I Build QA Departments
& Production Systems
QA leader who ships full-stack platforms, automation frameworks, and operational systems — now building 10x faster with AI-augmented development.
Specializations
What I Do
I combine deep QA expertise with AI-augmented development to build and ship production systems.
Test Automation
Built Playwright, Selenium, and Appium frameworks across 3 companies. Engineered a physical robot that eliminated 90% of manual credit card reader testing.
AI-Augmented Development
Ship production systems at 10x speed using Claude Code, terminal agents, and prompt engineering. This entire portfolio was built by one person with AI.
Systems & Platforms
Built a ticketing platform with Dialpad API integration, warehouse inventory tracking, and fulfillment management — now the operational backbone for multiple departments.
Technical Leadership
Founded Monovo's QA department from zero. Now leading Patient Support operations spanning tech support, manufacturing fulfillment, and quality assurance.
AI-Augmented Development
How I Leverage AI
AI isn't replacing engineers — it's supercharging the ones who know how to use it. Here's my workflow for shipping at 10x speed.
Ideate
Describe the feature, test scenario, or automation need in natural language
Generate
Claude & Codex produce framework scaffolding, test cases, or automation scripts
Refine
Review, iterate, and customize with domain-specific QA knowledge and best practices
Ship
Deploy production-ready, tested code in hours instead of days
My AI Toolkit
Claude Code
Primary AI coding partner in the terminal — complex automation frameworks, architectural decisions, and full codebase reasoning
OpenAI Codex
Terminal-based AI agent for rapid test generation, boilerplate scaffolding, and autonomous multi-file edits
Ghostty + tmux
Lightning-fast terminal workflow — split panes running AI agents in parallel alongside builds, tests, and git operations
Prompt Engineering
Crafting precise, context-rich prompts that produce production-ready code on the first pass — not the fifth
This portfolio — frontend, backend, animations, testing playground — was built by one person using AI-augmented development.
