Bas van Laarhoven — Co-Founder
Senior QA Engineer who spent a decade in psychiatry before switching to software — turns out both fields are mostly about spotting hidden and uncomfortable patterns. I work on QA as a system: tooling, culture, team behavior, process and combine it with software testing as a practice. Outside of work I run Ichigendo, a martial arts dojo I founded 10 years ago. That's where most of my actual thinking about leadership, feedback, and learning under pressure comes from. I write about QA and the stuff underneath it at Sensei Bas
