Guiding Principles
Beliefs and principles developed over time that guide how I approach work, learning, and life.
When you fail to plan, you plan to fail This is the principle I lean on most — across work, studies, and life. The idea is simple: a little forethought goes a long way in avoiding avoidable failure.
At work, I see the consequences of insufficient planning regularly. Being in QA means I’m most often towards the end of the product or development cycle, making the ripple effects of poor planning particularly visible — edge cases missed, environments not ready, dependencies overlooked. This isn’t specific to QA; it’s an observation about work projects in general. But from where I sit, those gaps are harder to ignore.
