01 / THE PERSONMORE THAN A TEST CASE
LAKSHAYA INANI↗
A builder’s mindset.
A tester’s instinct.
I’m a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test at Tickertape, part of smallcase. I help make complex financial products feel dependable, on the web and in your pocket.
My sweet spot is turning “what if?” into a repeatable test. From APIs and mobile flows to deployment pipelines, I care about finding the right problems and making the next release better.
