Quality, creativity,
and building things that last.

I didn't grow up around computers. In Jamaica, my earliest memories of them are at the Parish Library, using the machine for the odd school project or to print something out. Then in high school I learned to program in Pascal, and it just clicked. That spark sent me into computer science. I actually thought I would end up a teacher, and in a way I did. I found QA, a field where I get to combine teaching and technology every day. I started as an intern in 2015, while I was still at university, testing my own code before I even knew testing was a career, and I've been learning and teaching out loud ever since.

Three things drive my work. I care about quality, creativity, and putting technology to practical use. I help teams think beyond simply "testing software" and focus on what testing is really for, building better products, reducing risk, improving speed to market, and creating systems that are easier to scale and maintain. More than a decade in QA, across finance, healthcare, retail, telecom, entertainment and AI, has shown me how products really get planned, built, tested, launched and improved over time.

Beyond QA, I'm building products of my own. The biggest so far is Tropic Tumble, a mobile match-3 game I built and launched under my studio, JPott Studios, now live on iOS and Android, alongside more AI tools and apps. I love using emerging tools to solve real problems, make work easier, and bring creative ideas to life. That work spans hands-on execution, product strategy, automation, user experience, quality systems, and the very practical realities of building technology from the ground up.

I'm also committed to sharing what I know. Through writing, video, courses and community education, I try to make software quality, technology and product building more accessible, whether that's teaching testing concepts, sharing lessons from building products, or exploring how AI is changing the way we work. The goal is always practical. I want people to learn something they can use, build with more confidence, and create better technology.

At the heart of it is a simple belief. Great products come from people who are curious, intentional and well-supported, people with room in their lives for rest, creativity and the things that matter outside of work.

Mobile app testing. I test mobile apps across real iOS and Android devices, screen sizes, networks and everyday conditions, so they work the way real people need them to.

Test automation. I build Cypress and TypeScript end-to-end suites that turn slow manual checks into fast, repeatable ones, so teams can release more often with confidence.

API and data quality. I do API and data-pipeline QA for large platforms, validating data across systems so what reaches people is correct.

Building my own products. Through JPott Studios I build apps and games. Tropic Tumble is live on iOS and Android, and I build the free QA tools and learning path here on this site, with more in the pipeline.
