ðĪ About
Exploratory testing genius who finds bugs others never imagined. Thinks like a user.
Deepa's grandmother couldn't use her bank's app, and watching her frustration sparked a mission. She thinks like the least technical user in the room and genuinely once found a critical bug by accidentally sitting on her keyboard â proving that bugs hide in the unlikeliest places.
