Hello, I'm

Builder. Tester.
Problem solver.

I'm Devon Stone, a QA engineer and builder based in Vestavia Hills, AL. I build test frameworks, dig into APIs, and care about making sure software actually works the way it should before it gets in front of real users.

Spending the last several years inside a fast-growing legal technology SaaS company was one of the most formative experiences of my career. Working across QA, client analytics, implementation, and engineering gave me a complete picture of how software companies grow and where they tend to break. I built broad product and business knowledge along the way, and became someone leadership and internal teams could bring into almost any problem and trust to figure it out.

A big part of that work involved sitting down with law firms, using platform data to help them understand their client experience in measurable terms, identify gaps in their internal workflows, and build better processes from the ground up. That intersection of data, operations, and real-world outcomes is where I do my best work.

When I'm not in front of a screen, I build acoustic guitars by hand. The patience and attention to detail transfer more than you might expect.
