Breaking things before your users do.

Patrik Marsal

About

I've been breaking things professionally since 2019 — and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Curiosity drives everything I do. Whether it's hunting down an elusive bug, exploring a new testing framework, or rethinking an entire automation strategy, I'm always looking for the simplest solution that works today and scales tomorrow.

I believe good QA isn't just about finding problems — it's about building systems that make problems easier to spot, fix, and prevent.
