"I've configured things you people wouldn't believe. IIS settings on multiple local builds. I watched Test pipelines glitter in the dark near the QA Release gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like SSH keys in rain... Time to Cry."

I also hate my mac with a power of a thousands suns.

Automation & Test Lead

I've been testing for over 10 years and API testing is my favourite.
I believe testers/quality people are the BEST humans and always bring hope to my half glass empty soul.
