Senior QA Engineer & Indie Builder

I build test automation systems by day and indie developer tools by night. Through CodeByGK, I share what I learn - tools you can use, courses you can follow, and resources you can ship with.

What I Build

Products, tutorials, and resources

Three ways CodeByGK can help you - whether you're looking to use a tool, learn a concept, or ship faster.

Products

Tools that solve real problems

Web apps, Chrome extensions, and CLI utilities built because existing tools didn't cut it. NanoRead, DOM2POM, ZapComment, Dorkmine - each one started as a personal frustration.
