Ken Horovatin is a retired QA and test automation leader, data analyst, and lifelong learner with a long-standing interest in science and technology.

After retiring from full-time work at the end of 2025, he has been spending more time on personal projects involving home automation, 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving, photography, and software experimentation.

He enjoys building practical systems with Home Assistant, ESPHome, and connected devices, and is especially interested in using automation to make everyday environments more useful, observable, reliable, and easy for everyone in the household to live with.
