Most flaky test failures I've debugged weren't bugs — they were bad test data. How I keep data clean, isolated, and reproducible.

You don't need to be a pentester to test for the most common web vulnerabilities. The OWASP Top 10, reframed as test cases a QA engineer can run.

Integration tests are slow and flaky across services. Contract testing checks that a provider and consumer still agree — without spinning up the whole system.

Burp Suite has a hundred features and a beginner needs about five. The minimal workflow I use to test a web app, in order.

How I went from knowing nothing about offensive security to landing in the top 3% globally on TryHackMe — the rooms, the mindset, and the grind.

Everyone wants experience, but nobody will give you the first job. The concrete steps that got me from zero to a QA internship offer.

A bug nobody can reproduce is a bug nobody fixes. The anatomy of a report developers act on instead of closing as 'cannot reproduce'.
