A Pragmatic Testing Strategy

Years of debates with developers, POs, management, and leadership have shaped my perspective. This is what I've learned about pragmatic testing in the real world, the patterns that work, the fights worth having, and the compromises that matter.

Experience

Principal Engineer at Storyteq, where I own the architecture across our video personalization platform. 15 years across product, platform, and consulting — most recently at Storyteq, Rangle, and Albelli.
