"Your motivation lies between what you already have and what you want to achieve."

β€” Pricilla Bilavendran

My journey in software testing began with curiosity and a willingness to learn. More than 15 years later, that curiosity still drives me β€” whether I'm exploring AI in testing, teaching API testing, writing technical content, or helping teams improve quality.

I believe testing has the power to shape better products, stronger teams, and more confident professionals. Through speaking, writing, mentoring, and community work, I hope to make the testing profession a little more accessible, inclusive, and rewarding for those who choose this path.
