Ship software with confidence.
Independent QA and software-quality consulting for startups and small engineering teams — hands-on testing, QA audits, test automation and fractional QA leadership, including API and AI-driven features.
Testing, plus the engineering judgment to fix why defects happen
Software quality, end to end
Not just testing hours. I help you find what’s broken, fix why it breaks, and build the process and coverage that keep it from breaking again.
QA Health Check
A fixed-price audit of your testing, coverage and release process — with a prioritized 90-day roadmap.
Manual & exploratory testing
Careful, human testing of your product's real flows — the issues scripts and checklists miss.
Test automation
Maintainable UI, API and end-to-end suites that catch regressions on every change.
API & AI feature testing
Validation of APIs and AI/LLM-driven features — outputs, edge cases and failure modes.
Fractional QA leadership
A part-time QA lead on a monthly retainer — strategy, process and hands-on ownership.
Training & documentation
Practical QA training and documentation so your own team levels up and keeps the discipline.

Engagements that fit
A fixed-price audit, a defined project, or a monthly retainer — pick the shape that fits your stage, and scale up or down as you grow.
