I’m James Ryan Gaid, a QA Engineer. I test software, automate checks, and help teams release with confidence.
A tester’s instinct.
An eye for what breaks.
I’m a Quality Assurance Engineer with ~4 years of experience making software more reliable. I build maintainable testing frameworks and connect them to CI/CD pipelines so issues get caught early.
Currently at Amihan Solutions, working on Oracle APEX applications. I’m also pursuing the PJPT certification to take my security testing further.
