Hannah Redmond
I'm a software engineer with a passion for building tools that make developers' lives easier. My background in QA testing and automation means I understand the pain points of testing, debugging, and workflow management — so I build solutions for them.
Dev Garden is my collection of open-source developer tools — VS Code extensions, Chrome extensions, and Git utilities — all built with the same philosophy: cultivate clarity, get to the root faster, and never add bloat where simplicity works.
When I'm not writing code, I'm exploring new testing strategies, contributing to the open-source community, or tending to my actual garden.
What I Work With
Professional Journey
Software Engineer & QA Automation
Building developer tools, VS Code extensions, and Chrome extensions. Focused on testing automation, performance optimization, and creating tools that solve real workflow problems.
QA Test Engineering
Specialized in automated testing with Playwright, visual regression testing, and API testing. Developed testing frameworks and strategies for complex web applications.
Full-Stack Development
Built and maintained web applications using TypeScript, JavaScript, and Node.js. Developed a deep understanding of authentication flows, API design, and developer experience.
Why Dev Garden?
Root Cause Thinking
Every tool is designed to help you get to the root of a problem faster — whether that's a memory leak, a visual regression, or a token issue.
No Bloat, Just Growth
Tools do one thing well. No unnecessary features, no telemetry, no analytics. Just focused utilities that grow your productivity.
Open Source Roots
Every project is MIT licensed and available on GitHub. Fork it, improve it, make it your own.
Cultivated from Experience
Each tool was born from a real problem encountered during development or QA work. They're battle-tested in production.
