Hi, I'm Andrew 👋 QA Engineer with three years at Apple, returning to tech after a career break. Currently deepening my test automation skills while also building full-stack projects — open to QA/SDET or junior Software Engineer roles.

A private, invite-only app for sharing recipes and restaurant reviews within your actual circle of friends — no public profiles, no discoverability, no ads, no strangers.

The core technical bet: friends-only access is enforced at the database layer via Postgres Row-Level Security, not just filtered in the app — so even a compromised frontend can't leak data outside your friend graph. Built solo end-to-end:

• Full-stack: Next.js (App Router, TypeScript) + Supabase (Postgres, magic-link auth, private Storage)
• Third-party integrations: Google Places, Geocoding, and Maps JavaScript APIs for location-aware restaurant search, radius filtering, and a live map with grouped results
• Real features, not a CRUD demo: multi-photo uploads with reordering, QR-code friend invites (generate + in-browser camera scan), tag-based search with frequency-sorted suggestions, and a permission model that's been pressure-tested against real edge cases
• Documented engineering process: ARCHITECTURE.md is a running log of real bugs hit and root-caused along the way — including an RLS policy that silently hid pending friend requests, and a dev-vs-production build divergence only caught during deployment

Currently working on:

• Building Playwright skills for end-to-end web automation
• Refreshing JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals through full-stack projects
• Open to remote QA / SDET or junior Software Engineer roles

Tech I work with:

• Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js
• Web/Full-stack: Next.js, React, Supabase, PostgreSQL
• Testing: Mocha, Playwright (learning), Jira, Apple Radar
• Tools: Xcode, Charles Proxy, Git
• Background: Manual + automated testing, regression, localization, mobile (iOS) + web
