Orion Protonentis, Software Test Pilot

Full transcript and show notes at theomnishow.omnigroup.com

Orion Protonentis — swashbuckler, bug-hunter, pastry-enjoyer — joins the show to talk about testing Omni apps. And about his life on the stage with swords.

After studying acting and stage combat in Hawaii, Tennessee, and Las Vegas, and after tending bar and running nightclubs, Orion — whose first computers were Commodore 64, TRS-80, and Apple II — answered the call to come do support at The Omni Group.

He later made his way to the test department, where he’s been finding bugs — so you don’t have to.

You can find Orion @orionp on Twitter and on Micro.blog.
