Hi, I'm Daniel Buzlea
Software engineer focused on
By day I'm a Genius Bar technician at Apple, sharpening real-world problem-solving. By night I design test automation, experimental apps, and systems built to be dependable.
// about
Curious by nature, methodical by habit.
I'm Daniel — a software engineer in the making who genuinely enjoys taking things apart to understand how they work, then putting them back together better. My days at Apple's Genius Bar taught me to stay calm under pressure and translate messy problems into clear solutions.
Away from the bar, I'm drawn to the parts of software most people overlook: the test suites that catch bugs before users do, the automation that removes tedious work, and the AI tooling that makes systems smarter. I care about building things that are reliable, not just things that demo well.

Featured Projects
A few things I've built — from reimagining classic hardware in software to automated test suites.
Automation Suite
A UI automation test suite for macOS 13.0+ System Settings and the Photos app. Built in Python with PyAutoGUI, Selenium, pytest, OpenCV, and scikit — turning manual QA into repeatable, reliable runs.

Experience
Where I'm sharpening my craft, on and off the clock.
Apple
Diagnosing and resolving hardware and software issues for customers — building the calm, methodical problem-solving that carries straight into engineering and QA.
Independent Projects
Designing and shipping personal projects centered on QA engineering, test automation, and practical AI implementation — learning by building things that have to actually work.
Let's build something reliable.
