For your role

You came here for a different reason.

Quality engineering touches everyone. Here's what changes for you when AI joins the team — and where I help.

IT & Engineering Managers

Velocity without the silent regressions.

Quantify the risk in your AI-augmented pipeline. Get review gates and quality KPIs your CFO can read.

Project Managers

Predictable delivery, visible quality.

Specs, scenarios and tests share one human-readable layer. Status meetings stop being archeology.

Developers

Tests that read like specs.

Page Objects, AC/TS traceability, coverage matrices. AI extends your suite instead of polluting it.

Architects

Test architecture designed for AI extension.

Cypress, Playwright, TMMi, ISO/IEC 25010 — composed so LLMs can extend, refactor and review safely.

AI Specialists

In-repo Claude Code subagents that gate prod.

AGENTS.md / SKILL.md authoring, hooks, prompt design. Four agents already running in production.

Testers

Stop being the bottleneck. Become the gatekeeper.

Workshops, coaching and Communities of Practice that level testers up to drive AI-augmented quality.

The Problem

AI ships fast. Tests need to keep up.

Your team adopted Claude Code, Cursor or Copilot. Velocity went up. But review queues are now full of plausible-looking code no one really checked, tests that pass without exercising anything, and a creeping sense that quality is slipping behind speed.

I help engineering teams close that gap — with test architectures designed for AI extension, custom agents that gate every push, and a Language-First approach that makes specs, scenarios and tests legible to humans and LLMs.
