01 about

Quality is a habit, not a phase gate.

I'm Omar, a QA Engineer based in Hamburg with over a decade in quality assurance. I started in games QA in 2014, coordinating tester teams for AAA multiplayer titles, and grew from there into software QA across mobile apps, VR and fintech.

Today I own quality at 21bitcoin, where I built the entire QA function from scratch: test strategy, processes and best practices, UI automation with Maestro, plus backend, API and performance testing, all wired into the CI/CD pipeline.

I read specs the way testers do, hunting for the edge case nobody wrote down, and I care about shipping software that survives contact with real users. In four languages, if it has to.
