Problem

The team needed reliable QA coverage for a critical transition from the legacy profile flow to Min kompetensprofil, with focus on real user journeys and release quality.

What I delivered

I designed and executed 100+ test cases, documented bugs and UX inconsistencies in Jira/Xray with clear reproduction steps, and implemented an initial Playwright E2E validation flow.

Outcome

I surfaced and communicated high-priority cases (PRPO-345, PRPO-263, PRPO-313, PRPO-268), enabling clearer prioritization and improving release confidence from a user perspective.

About

Before the code,
there was the stage.

I spent over two decades in the creative industries — acting, directing costume and casting for theatre and film, building a fashion brand from scratch, Cordelia. I learned how to tell stories visually, how to collaborate under pressure, and adapt fast to very different roles, environments and people.

When I moved into tech, I didn't leave that behind. I brought it with me. Today I build interfaces the same way I used to direct a shoot — with intention, clear communication, and an eye for the details that make the difference between something that works and something that feels right.
