Quality Engineering & AI Consultant
I help technology teams improve software quality, shorten feedback cycles and verify that AI agents complete the tasks customers rely on. I bring 14 years in software quality and engineering leadership, including roles at The Economist, Reapit and Smartcat, alongside hands-on experience building products and businesses.
Available for remote consulting engagements, defined projects and fractional quality leadership.
01Experience
Selected roles at
02Selected outcomes
I led QA across the UK and EMEA as we moved desktop automation from TestArchitect to FlaUI and added Playwright API testing. A full automated desktop regression run dropped from about 15 hours to 1–2 hours.
I reviewed and improved evaluations that could reward a convincing answer without verifying the completed action. The work strengthened assertions, reduced failures caused by unstable tests and made workflow outcomes easier to investigate.
I led quality across The Economist and Espresso apps and the wider content delivery platform, combining close product and engineering collaboration, layered automation, integration testing and performance and stability checks on physical devices.
03Consulting
Improve test reliability, release confidence and delivery feedback. Bring me in for a focused assessment, a defined improvement project or ongoing leadership alongside your engineering team.
Verify completed actions, tool use, handoffs, recovery and approval handling. Build evaluations that help your team understand what failed and decide what is ready to release.
Scope and build a product, or automate a repeatable business process. My own ventures bring practical experience of product decisions, implementation, launch and ongoing operations.
04Engagement
We agree the problem, outcomes, responsibilities and fees before work begins. I work remotely with your team, with collaboration hours and involvement agreed around the engagement.
05Personal projects
Alongside my professional work, I make product, technical and commercial decisions in ventures of my own.
Tell me about your release process, quality challenges or AI workflow, and the support you need. I’m available for remote consulting, project work and fractional quality leadership.
