Seattle, WA Software / QA / Product
I'm Zeid, a bilingual software engineer with a background in QA, project management, and building testing tools.
01 / About
I'm an English/Spanish software bilingual developer from Miami (Now Seattle Metro). I love to solve problems, and enjoy thinking of innovative ways to see the world from another perspective, and attack problems from new angles. I like to develop tools and proof-of-concept applications and build openly and in open-source.
Outside of that, I try to communicate with people past the facade, posturing and other things that prevent us from truly reaching out to others. I try to approach problem-solving in an easy to relay way that emphasizes efficiency over pretense.
02 / Showcase
A self-hostable framework for distributed training of small open models.
A self-hostable framework and reproducible research platform for training one small open model at a time, with bounded contributions from browsers and ordinary consumer machines.
A Rust compatibility runtime for installed Electron applications.
A pre-release Rust compatibility runtime for installed Electron applications, built around read-only package discovery, exact fingerprints, explicit adapters, and observable execution without modifying vendor installations.
Music for anyone. Experimental tool to try to help people connect with music in unusual ways.
A local-first browser tool with scale-locked pads, controller input, snippets, canvas arrangement, inspect/edit tools, and offline storage. It is deliberately not trying to replace a full DAW.
Offline-first project management and bug tracking
A local-first project management suite with web, PWA, and Tauri desktop shells. It covers boards, backlog, docs, bug triage, roadmap, calendar, automation, import/export, and folder-backed storage.
A simple way to tell a story
A free, open-source, prose-first engine and Tauri editor for branching stories and text RPGs, with deterministic logic, visual scene building, portable source files, saves, and static web exports.
A quiet space on the internet for people to connect
A browser-based multiplayer hangout built around anonymous presence, mutual-consent identity reveal, private and common rooms, quiet mode, and one-click escape. Low pressure is the feature.
03 / Experience
I have worked across QA, software engineering, project management, IT, and business analysis.
Current work
TopNotchQA · Remote
Build and maintain automated end-to-end testing with Cypress, write Python tools for testing workflows, maintain JavaScript testing environments, and review existing systems for gaps in coverage, reliability, security, and practical uses of AI.
Independent work
Involved in countless projects, from research to deployment. I learned a lot from doing, making a lot of applications for self-use as well as to better understand various workflows and perspectives.
Prior work
Metia · Greater Seattle Area
Managed my own projects and coordinated the PM team, assigning incoming work based on availability and tracking schedules, resources, design, and content through delivery.

Some are live products, some are research, and some are tools for making other things. All of them have source.

A proof-of-concept memory architecture with memory-first retrieval, domain-tagged recall, crash recovery, safe local tools, and model routing through LiteLLM.
A local bridge for AI clients to read, draft, validate, and safely apply RPG Maker MV/MZ project content through CLI, MCP, HTTP API, and an Electron desktop app.
A browser-based multiplayer hangout built around anonymous presence, mutual-consent identity reveal, private and common rooms, quiet mode, and one-click escape. Low pressure is the feature.
A transparency tool that aggregates and displays public information about U.S. politicians through a Python ETL pipeline, Supabase, and a static Next.js frontend.
Configurable goals, retained history charts, shareable templates, and JSON backup/import, with no account and no backend.
A Codex-compatible pet generator with solo and duo staging, approval checkpoints, animation modes, packaging, and verification tooling.
A browser-first PWA and CLI for generating game placeholder assets, with a shared TypeScript core for schemas, validation, sanitization, and generation workflows.
A Manifest V3 extension that schedules Reddit blocking or read-only mode, stores settings locally, and targets Chromium-family browsers plus Firefox.
An educational Alpaca automation project centered on a protected capital floor, paper trading first, bracket orders, audit logs, and scheduled or continuous operation.
Draft through a procedural constellation skill tree, then pass or fail threshold checks between rounds. The entire main loop lives in the interface.
A 30-day browser game with deterministic six-hour shared markets, neighborhood price differences, inventory limits, loans, events, and local leaderboards.
