What I am doing now

Upcoming talk - Shift Left, Move Forward

I spoke at the Berlin Quality Engineering Meetup on 17 April. The talk outlined the history of the Shift-Left movement and explored this often misunderstood term with concrete examples on how to apply it in a quality engineering context.

Application development

For the last 4 years, I have worked as a systems quality engineer and an SDET at Bitgrip. I quit my job, and am now on the lookout for a new challenge. In 2025, I am looking to broaden my software engineering skills beyond quality engineering and into application development. I am also actively considering freelancing as an option.

Running

I ran the Berlin Half-Marathon on April 6, where I set a personal record (1:44:23). Many thanks to Bruno, the sub-1:45 pacer at the event, who set the pace and kept me motivated throughout!

Java

I am done with the book 'Head First Java', which has helped me understand foundational concepts in Java such as inheritance, polymorphism, generic data types, streams, functional interfaces etc. The next step is to use some of this knowledge to build a project, and to contribute to some open-source tools that we use (Karate, Wiremock).

Chess

This year has rekindled my interest for chess. I will be digging deeper into some theory to improve my game.
