Hi, I'm Dreb

QA Specialist & Fullstack Developer

Philippines

UTC+8

I break things so users don't have to. By day I'm building automation frameworks and hunting down bugs before they hit production. By night, I'm building web apps and breaking things in CTF competitions. Quality and code, one commit at a time.
