I am a software professional with extensive experience in both software engineering and software testing. I spent close to a decade as a software engineer (programmer), followed by over a decade working as a software tester.

Across both roles, I have developed a strong focus on observation, quality, and detail — learning to look beyond the surface, ask the right questions, and understand how systems behave in real-world conditions. I enjoy work that requires both analytical thinking and careful attention to detail.

Alongside my professional career, I am also a parent, which has deeply influenced how I approach life and work. It has strengthened my appreciation for patience, adaptability, and the importance of small, meaningful moments in everyday life.

In recent years, I have also become more intentional about reflection and slowing down. I am inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—the appreciation of imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity—and I try to bring that mindset into how I observe both work and life.

Outside of my professional work, I write a personal blog called Catch the Time Monster, where I reflect on everyday experiences, observations, and small shifts in perspective.
