Hi, I'm Arif
|
I break things professionally — so your users don't have to.
I build things that actually work.
I'm a QA Lead and software engineer based in New York, NY. I specialize in building quality assurance processes, automation frameworks, and the kind of tools that make development teams ship with confidence.
By day I lead QA for software clients — writing test plans, building Playwright suites, and making sure nothing embarrassing reaches production. On the side I build Chrome extensions, property management SaaS, and trading dashboards for my own use.
When I'm not testing someone else's code, I'm probably breaking my own (intentionally, this time).
