Fractional QA leadership

Ship faster.
Break less.

Fractional Head of QA and test strategy for teams shipping fast enough to break things.

The problem

You're scaling fast — and it's starting to show. Releases slow down. Bugs reach production. And there's no senior QA leader to own quality before it becomes a fire. // that's the gap I close.

What I do

Four ways to work together

I lead and define your quality strategy — and my QA squad executes it.

Start here 01 — Audit

QA Audit & Test-Strategy Sprint

In 2–3 weeks, a costed plan to fix your biggest quality risks. Fixed scope, no retainer required.

  • Current-state QA & release audit
  • Test strategy + automation roadmap
  • CI/CD quality-gate recommendations
Fixed price. The easiest way to start.
02 — Retainer

Fractional Head of QA

Senior QA leadership on retainer — the strategy, direction, and ownership of a Head of QA, without the full-time hire.

  • Strategy & release-process ownership
  • Automation direction
  • QA hiring & team mentoring
Monthly. Let's scope it on a call.
03 — Team

QA Squad, on demand

Flexible QA capacity — vetted engineers spun up for a release crunch, a migration, or ongoing embedded support. Short burst or long haul.

  • Vetted engineers, deployed fast
  • Crunches, migrations, embedded QA
  • I own the strategy & quality bar
Per engineer or per pod. Scoped to the work.
04 — Coaching

QA Leadership Coaching

1:1 coaching for engineers stepping into QA lead and manager roles — built from 17 years of doing it.

  • Six-module leadership curriculum
  • Real playbooks, not theory
  • Between-session async support
Package or monthly.
