Summary

Most things aren’t impossible. They’re just not built properly yet. I love the messy middle where things don’t work.
That’s where ideas turn into something real —
from a first time virtual wallet for charities with fundraising gamification to simplifying flows that should’ve been simple in the first place. I’ve realized my joy is not always in the finished products alone.
I enjoy the part where things are still broken, messy, unclear.
That moment where logic and an idea starts becoming something that actually works. Seeing the finished product is epic too.
but sifting through "this is terrible" how do we fix this...
That’s the work I love.

Having now figured out how to build and ship with AI built QA apps and dashboards that does regression testing for charity websites with over 1200+ smoke and flow tests that run in under 11 minutes across 25 websites which a team of 4 people could not succeed in putting into automation correctly in 1,5 years I did with Claude in 7-10 hours.

About me: Coffee Appreciator. Can cycle for miles, no hands. Love building solutions that work for the real world.
