# Theresa Heine
Engineer at ING translating complex software systems for non-technical audiences.

## About

Theresa Heine focuses on software quality, test automation, and release processes at ING. With a background blending software engineering and product management, she works to bring reliability to older legacy systems while adapting testing standards for AI development.

She cares about making complex architectural concepts accessible to non-technical teams. In her talks, Theresa uses creative metaphors—like comparing software maintenance to the chaotic, ever-expanding rooms of the Weasley house from Harry Potter—to effectively explain why engineers are always renovating code.
