About Me
I’m a QA Engineer at United Rentals and the founder of Vaxen Labs, where I build practical AI tools, automation systems, and software products designed to solve real problems.
My professional background is rooted in software quality. I have experience testing enterprise web and mobile applications, validating APIs, documenting defects, supporting Agile development teams, and making sure products remain dependable under real-world conditions. I approach quality assurance as more than finding bugs—it is about understanding how a system should behave, identifying where it may fail, and helping teams deliver software users can trust.
Outside of my full-time work, I founded Vaxen Labs as a space to turn ambitious ideas into working products. My projects explore AI-assisted testing, developer tools, business automation, privacy-conscious technology, and local-first systems. This includes products such as EchoQBot, an AI-powered QA assistant, along with tools focused on code health, prompt security, and private computing.
I’m especially interested in the intersection of software quality, artificial intelligence, and product development. I enjoy taking an idea from its earliest concept, challenging its assumptions, designing the user experience, and building a functional product around it. I believe advanced technology should be useful, understandable, and built with the user’s privacy and independence in mind.
Whether I’m testing an enterprise platform at United Rentals or developing a new product through Vaxen Labs, my goal is the same: build technology that works reliably, solves a genuine problem, and respects the people using it.
