Experience

November 2023 - January 2025

Senior Quality Engineer

Veed.io

At Veed.io, i was in charge of subtitles product where i spearheaded the writing of subtitles tests for the Editor team. Working with Veed, we had to re-invent how testing is done especially because we did not have a product like veed.io that exists to have a full editor running on the browser, this meant creating new tools to test video from scratch and ensure that we tested subtitles at the same time. Testing subtitles at veed was critical as this was the main point of sales for veed.io as a product which had about 30 million users in a month by the time of my exit. Our core technologies were Javascript and Typescript.
