About Me
I run a one-person business in the field of Requirements Engineering and Software Testing, with a focus on complex aviation systems. The name of my company – Commitment – reflects my philosophy: I only commit when I know I can deliver. When I engage, I do it fully.
With a background in flight planning, aviation operations, and software quality assurance, I bring deep domain expertise to every project. I define clear, testable requirements and ensure they are properly validated through both manual and automated testing – mostly in Python.
I am also a Linux enthusiast and open-source technology advocate. In my spare time, I work on my own weather service and self-hosted mail server, continuously exploring automation, DevOps, and cybersecurity technologies.
