51

52
- making webpages (Geocities 😍) and writing small utilities to make
53

- I broke into the industry as a tester at a small startup that
58
- frequently deployed and demoed its product to investors. This
59
- experience taught me how critical software quality is to the
60
- business—especially as I observed how development practices
61
- directly impacted the app's reliability. To help keep up with the
62
- rapid pace of development (one-week sprints), I implemented
63
- extensive test automation, which eventually allowed me to take on
64
- development work. This shift gave me more control over the quality
65
- of the product.

- After the startup, I moved into software delivery consulting,
70

71

72
- while advocating for better testing practices—asking about
73
- potential test scenarios, encouraging developers to update
74
- end-to-end browser tests, and generally influencing how teams
75

- The more I worked as both a developer and tester, the more I saw a
80
- deep connection between good implementation design and
81
- testability. My "tester spidey sense" would tingle during story
82
- refinement or while pairing on a feature. I had learned through
83
- experience—often painful experience—how certain design decisions
84
- could create testing headaches. Over time, I developed a strong
85
- intuition for spotting trouble before it happened, and my
86
- technical background allowed me to address it effectively. Being
87
- able to wear both hats at the same time turned out to be a major
88
- superpower.
