When Phùng Trí Anh first stepped into Framery as a Quality Assurance (QA) Trainee, he wasn’t just looking for a job in tech—he was seeking momentum. A place to grow roots in software, stretch into new domains, and collaborate with people who genuinely enjoy what they do.
At Framery he found all of that—and then some.
“I was determined to make it into tech.”
Before joining Framery, Trí Anh immersed himself in Tampere’s tech community—attending events, tackling personal projects, and building relationships. One of those connections, a former Cloud Engineer at Framery, saw his potential and made the intro. The endorsement reached the Software Engineering Director, and soon after, Trí Anh joined the team.
“I started as a QA Trainee,” he says, “focused on testing the user interface inside our smart pods—the calendar, the booking features, and the Framery App that makes it all incredibly fast and seamless.”
Those early contributions weren’t just learning exercises. Trí Anh played a key role in launching the new UI for Framery’s smart pods and getting the Framery App ready for the world. But his sights were already set on something more complex.
Chasing the Deep End
As his skills sharpened, Trí Anh approached his QA Lead with a request: let me dive into embedded systems.
“I wanted to work closer to the firmware and hardware—to collaborate with embedded engineers, mechanical teams, DevOps, and data experts. I felt like I could learn the full ecosystem that way, from the electrical signals up to the application layer.”
It wasn’t just a curiosity—it was a strategic move. Understanding the entire stack gives him the tools to anticipate risks others might miss. The team agreed, and Trí Anh stepped into the role of QA Engineer for Framery’s embedded software.
Breaking Things—On Purpose
A typical day for Trí Anh involves a lot of creative destruction.
“In QA, your job is to spot the risks—and sometimes, that means pushing the software until it breaks. I test how the embedded boards behave under pressure. Can they recover from a network failure? Do they handle edge cases gracefully? I try to simulate storms to see what holds up.”
Sometimes, that creativity goes a little too far. “I once broke our development environment by sending the pod into an infinite loop of backend requests. It wasn’t fun in the moment—but the bug got fixed fast, and we all laughed about it later.”
What makes this work fulfilling isn’t just the technical challenge—it’s the collaboration. “We move fast because we share context. People talk openly about their work, their blockers, their breakthroughs. There’s no ‘that’s not my problem’ here.”
“Testing and quality is everyone’s job.”
Trí Anh is quick to point out something rare about Framery’s culture: quality isn’t owned by the QA team alone.
“Quality and testing are democratized. Developers, designers, product leads—we’re all tuned in to the customer experience.”
“I’ve heard stories from peers at other companies where it takes massive coordination to sync QA with development. Here, that alignment is natural. It’s part of the culture.”
And that small-team feel? It’s a feature, not a bug. “Because the software team is lean but skilled across different domains—cloud, mobile, signal processing—I can talk to anyone and learn something new. And they learn from me too, especially when I share embedded context.”
Looking Ahead
With Framery’s Smart Office Solutions growing, Trí Anh is already thinking bigger. He’s exploring how to scale quality assurance for a broader portfolio, and how new technologies like machine learning could help detect issues before they escalate.
“I want to catch software anomalies early—ideally before they hit production. If we can do that, we can prevent ten support tickets before they happen. That’s the kind of impact I’m excited about.”
Still Curious. Still Building. Still Learning.
From testing user interfaces to safeguarding the embedded systems that power Framery’s smart pods, Trí Anh’s story is one of bold steps, deep learning, and quiet impact.
“I came here to grow—and I’m still growing. There’s always more to learn, more to explore, more ways to improve how people experience our products.”
And as Framery continues shaping the future of work, it’s people like Trí Anh who ensure that the future is resilient, thoughtful, and just a bit more brilliant than before.
