Testing is changing. I'm building the change.

Greater Boston, US

AI makes testing faster. Human judgment makes it trustworthy. My work lives at that intersection.

I've spent the last decade making enterprise systems reliable — building test automation frameworks, data validation pipelines, and quality processes from scratch. Now I'm focused on what comes next: using AI to fundamentally change how we test software.

Every day, I use AI tools in production work — not as experiments but as core infrastructure. I use Claude Code to generate test suites, build API validations, write documentation, and manage test workflows. I've built GPT-based anomaly detection that catches data quality issues — schema drift, distribution shifts, transformation errors — that traditional rule-based checks miss.

I'm now building toward agentic testing: AI agents that autonomously generate test cases, execute them, analyze results, and triage failures — with human oversight at critical checkpoints. I'm building it in production, not just talking about it.

My background spans insurance, enterprise software, and healthcare data systems: complex, regulated environments where getting quality wrong has real consequences.

How I'm using AI to transform testing

Running in production
In production

AI-assisted test generation

Claude Code generates Pytest suites, API validations, and data pipeline checks daily. Not one-off prompting — a structured workflow where AI follows our framework conventions and I review and refine. Coverage now reaches edge cases and boundary conditions we previously skipped for lack of time.

Tools — Claude Code · Python · Pytest · REST APIs
In production

GPT-based validation & anomaly detection

AI-powered validation monitors data pipelines across cloud databases, detecting schema drift, distribution shifts, and transformation anomalies rule-based checks can't catch. Integrated into CI/CD as quality gates — bad data stops before it reaches production or customers.

Tools — GPT API · Python · AWS (Redshift, DynamoDB, RDS) · GitLab CI
In development

Agentic testing framework

Autonomous test agents that explore applications, identify testable scenarios, generate and execute test cases, analyze results, and file bugs — with human review checkpoints. The goal: testing that scales with AI while keeping the judgment that makes systems trustworthy.

AI across the entire QA workflow

  • Writing and publishing Confluence documentation
  • Creating and managing Jira stories and bugs
  • Managing test cases in Xray
  • Git operations — check-ins, merge conflict resolution
  • Sprint planning and backlog grooming

What took hours now takes minutes. The compounding effect: when test writing is cheap, coverage naturally expands.

Where AI gets it wrong

  • It gets confidently wrong: asserting incorrect status codes, misreading business rules, generating tests that look right but validate the wrong thing
  • Complex multi-step flows where context carries across services are still hard — AI loses the thread
  • Everything requires human review. Every single thing.
  • It picks up patterns fast but can't reason about why a test should exist — only that similar tests do

The teams that win with AI testing won't be the ones that trust it blindly. They'll be the ones that build the right guardrails around it.

field notes

My take on AI in testing

From production, not theory

AI won't replace testers. But testers who use AI will replace testers who don't. The skill isn't prompting — it's knowing what to test and why. AI handles the how.

On skills

Most "AI testing tools" are wrappers around GPT with a nice UI. The real value isn't the tool — it's building the workflow that makes AI output trustworthy enough to act on.

On tooling

I've seen AI generate 50 test cases in 10 seconds. 40 were useful. 8 were redundant. 2 were dangerously wrong. The future of QA isn't generating tests — it's building the guardrails that catch the 2.

On guardrails

Agentic testing is coming: AI agents that explore, test, and report autonomously. The QA leaders who build these systems today will define the field for the next decade.
