QC workshop — Brandon Werner, developer
QC Failed.
I build practical software, developer tools, and playful products — and I care enough to test the awkward parts.
Full-stack product work, honest documentation, and quality checks that actually run. This site is the build floor for that process.

SEC. 02 / Bench
ProvisionalCurrent build floor
The next builds on the bench — planned and honest, not an automatic feed.
Bench 01
Project catalog & data model
The typed catalog from the backlog: slugs, statuses, verified links, and screenshots for every documented project.
Bench 02
Screenshot & showcase system
Real captures and unmistakably labeled placeholders for the featured-work section above.
Bench 03
Field notes & case files
The build notebook for decisions, failures, and fixes, plus focused case-study pages.
SEC. 03 / Notebook
ProvisionalField notes
A build notebook of decisions, failures, and fixes — short technical notes, not a content mill.
Note 01 — pending
Note 02 — pending
Note — Field notes are repository-owned markdown; the first entries ship with the notebook build.
SEC. 04 / Person
ProvisionalAbout & working style
I'm Brandon Werner. I build practical software, developer tools, and playful products — and I treat quality checks as part of the work, not an afterthought.
I'm making the move into professional development from a full-time non-development career. This site is where that process becomes visible: real projects, real statuses, and the awkward parts documented instead of hidden.
Note — The full About section and verified contact paths land in a later build.
01
Issue-first workflow
One issue, one branch, one reviewable draft pull request. No merge without a second pair of eyes.
02
Tests over talk
Focused unit tests and real browser journeys on every branch — the checks run or they do not ship.
03
Honest statuses
Live, active, prototype, open source, archived. No invented metrics, user counts, or testimonials.
04
Self-hosted and observable
Docker and Coolify deployments with per-pull-request previews, over magic dashboards.
SEC. 05 / Contact
