About
Eighteen years of building quality at scale.
NP
I'm a QA Architect with 18+ years of experience across enterprise engineering — from large financial platforms to healthcare, retail, and SaaS. My work sits at the intersection of test strategy, automation architecture, and team leadership.
Over the last few years, I've focused on how AI changes quality engineering: Agentic AI, MCP, GitHub Copilot, and modern test automation with Playwright and Selenium. I speak at conferences, teach thousands of engineers online, and mentor individuals stepping into senior QA and architect roles.
Everything I publish comes from real projects. I write and teach because the field needs fewer opinions and more practical guidance — the kind that helps a working QA engineer make a better decision on Monday morning.
