👋 About Me – Devin Guthrie
I'm a Software Engineer and QA Engineering veteran with 10+ years across manual testing, test automation, release engineering, and full-stack development. Most of my career was at Tula Health, a healthcare SaaS company, where I grew from QA Engineer to Software Engineer while also building and running the Technical Support team from scratch. I tend to own things end to end.

Software Engineering

AI-Assisted Development

Built CalendarParse: an agentic C# CLI tool with an LLM-driven parsing loop and benchmarking harness for accuracy testing
Databases & Observability

🎯 Roles I'm Best Suited For

Most of these threads end up full of people offering skills, but very few talking about when and where demand actually shows up.
The biggest shift I’ve noticed is that opportunities rarely start as “we’re hiring.”
They start as a problem someone is actively trying to solve.
Curious how others here are identifying those moments early instead of waiting for formal roles to appear.
