About

Senior QA, with Python, AI, and security in the same toolkit.

I design and run quality for production systems: regression, functional, API, database, and end-to-end testing. The work sits next to developers and stakeholders, with clear defects, reproducible evidence, and stable releases.

Outside the day job I ship HomzFood, run a Linux lab on Ubuntu and a Raspberry Pi, and built a private panel for those machines. When a runtime needs a security fix, I patch the site instead of leaving it on the old version. The 3D CV world is still the playful map of the same career.

Lately

What I have actually been building.

HomzFood

A meal planner with a real recipe bank, weekly plans, and a layout that stays usable on a phone. It is live, and I use it.

homzfood.com

Control panel for the lab

One private screen for both machines: live status, the robot map, and the chores I used to do by hand, including subtitles next to the video.

The stack stays current

When PHP shipped a critical fix, this site moved to the patched runtime the same week. The other apps I host moved with it.
