Hello, I'm

Devon Stone headshot

Builder. Tester.
Problem solver.

I’m Devon Stone, a QA specialist, builder, and technical problem-solver based in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. I work across testing, APIs, automation, and product systems, with a focus on making sure software actually works the way it should before it reaches real users.

Spending the last several years inside a fast-growing legal technology SaaS company was one of the most formative experiences of my career. Working across QA, client analytics, implementation, and engineering gave me a complete picture of how software companies grow and where they tend to break. I built broad product and business knowledge along the way, and became someone leadership and internal teams could bring into almost any problem and trust to figure it out.

Part of that work involved partnering directly with law firms, using product and platform data to help them better understand their client experience, identify workflow gaps, and build stronger operational processes. While that work happened in legal tech, the core of it was really about understanding how people, systems, and processes interact, then finding practical ways to make them work better. That’s the kind of problem-solving I’m most drawn to, whether it lives inside software or the broader operations of a business.

When I'm not in front of a screen, I build acoustic guitars by hand. The patience and attention to detail transfer more than you might expect.
