Services¶
I work as an independent consultant, available for contracts and one-off engagements.
Here is what I actually do well — built from real projects, not job descriptions.
QA Architecture & Strategy¶
Designing a test strategy is not about choosing a framework — it's about understanding the system, the team, and the risk. I've done this across fintech, e-commerce, and public transport platforms.
What this looks like in practice: - Analysing your existing QA process and identifying where it costs more than it gives back - Building a strategy tailored to your product's actual risk profile - Defining metrics so the team knows whether the process is serving them - Making it flexible enough to survive the inevitable technology changes
Test Automation¶
Automation is a simulation of potential user behaviour. Done well it frees the team from repetitive work. Done poorly it becomes a second codebase nobody trusts.
I work across the full stack: component, integration, end-to-end, and system tests.
Frameworks I use regularly: Python, Playwright, Karate, Gatling, Robot Framework, Selenium
The question I always start with: is the effort worth it here? Not everything should be automated. For what should not — I execute manual exploratory and penetration tests, which give space that automation cannot.
Performance Testing¶
Modern systems need to be fast. Performance testing is where you find the bottlenecks before your users do.
I run load, stress, and endurance tests using Gatling and JMeter. I've done this for B2C platforms serving millions of users.
Honest note: full-scale production load tests are often impossible — data constraints, costs, system limits. What matters is observing behaviour at smaller scale and having the right monitoring in place when things happen in production.
CI/CD Pipelines¶
I've built and maintained CI/CD systems in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins with Docker. I've also contributed to AWS migrations (on-premise to cloud) as part of a DevOps role.
This means I can plug into a development team and build the pipeline infrastructure, not just consume it.
Security Basics¶
Through training toward eJPT certification I have working knowledge of SQL injection, infrastructure hardening, network enumeration, and common exploits. I've monitored SOC vulnerabilities and supported root cause analysis in production incidents.
This is not my primary offering — but it makes me a more useful person on any security-conscious team.
Mentoring¶
At a certain point in my career I stopped just doing the work and started helping others do it too. Good advice, honest feedback, and sometimes just listening to someone describe the problem so they can figure out the answer themselves.
I've mentored individuals and small teams. I work in English, Polish, and German.
If you are earlier in your QA or software career and want a thinking partner — get in touch.
Engagement models¶
- Fixed-scope contract — defined deliverable, defined timeline
- Ongoing retainer — embedded consultant, recurring availability
- One-off session — strategy review, code review, architecture discussion
- Mentoring — regular 1:1 sessions, flexible cadence
