Thanks for visiting my website. It is a mix of personal interests and professional experience.
My professional background is focused on software quality assurance, but not just pointing and clicking! My approach to quality assurance is engineering based with an emphasis on "pushing left" and building teams from the "ground up". This means understanding the importance of being involved early in the software development lifecycle, being able to create detailed documentation, reliable processes, automating error-prone, mission critical and mundane tests, as well as harnessing human strengths (like exploratory testing).
I also have speaking experience on a variety of topics software quality assurance-related. My contact information is in the footer if you are interested in having me speak at an event.
When I'm not being a software quality assurance guru I enjoy a variety of activities, some of which are represented on my website. I like making craft cocktails , building things , and listening to podcasts.

Solar Eclipses and Culture

Pretend you have never heard of a solar eclipse. The Sun’s behavior has been predictable your whole life. One day, you witness the sky transform as it does in today’s spliced image spanning two hours of the August 12, 2026 solar eclipse. The Sun disappears, leaving behind a bright, empty ring. What would you think had happened? Humans have interpreted eclipses in countless ways throughout history, embedding beliefs about connection, rebirth, or danger into culture. “Eclipse” comes from the Greek word “ékleipsis” meaning “abandonment”. In ancient Greece, the solar eclipse marked the anger of the gods and the Sun abandoning humanity. To the Diné people, this celestial alignment is a time of renewal. Out of respect and to avoid the danger of sunlight, the Diné stay inside until the Sun and Moon separate. The Batammariba people of Benin and Togo believe that the Sun and Moon fight during an eclipse, so the community encourages peace among themselves. Eclipses are an example of the longstanding connection between astronomy and society. Gallery: Solar Eclipse of 2026 August 12
