New blog series: QA Reimagined: Navigating Agile, AI, and Automation Part 1
QA Is Everyone’s Business — And It’s Changing Fast
It’s been a while since I posted on here, but during this time I’ve gained hands-on experience across multiple industries, geographies, and team scales — from legacy-heavy enterprises to fast-moving Agile squads.
And like many of you, I’ve found myself facing a new reality in tech — one buzzing with AI, LLMs, Agents, and rapid automation. But I don’t see this as just a wave of buzzwords. I believe the real opportunity lies in overlaying this new world with the practical, hard-earned QA expertise that brought us here.
It’s not about adopting trends for the sake of it — it’s about evolving meaningfully. Grounded knowledge is the foundation for lasting progress.
I will be writing a series of blog posts over the next few weeks, in a series I call: “QA Reimagined: Navigating Agile, AI, and Automation”
Why This Blog Series, and Why Now?
In this new series, I’ll be sharing my personal lens on how quality engineering is changing — and how we, as QA professionals, team leads, and builders, can evolve with it.
I’ll be unpacking:
-The intersection of traditional QA best practices with AI-based augmentation
-What it actually means to shift left, right, and intelligently
-How quality becomes everyone’s responsibility — not just a QA engineer’s
-Why test automation isn’t enough without strategy, context, and cross-functional collaboration
This is not a theoretical exploration. It’s practical, grounded in what I have seen being implemented, debugged, and transformed — in startups, regulated sectors, and everything in between.
QA Today: More Than Testing
The days of treating QA as a late-stage safety net are over.
Quality now lives in: Design reviews,Story grooming, PR validations, Release toggles, Production observability
In modern pipelines, QA isn’t just about if something works — it’s about why, for whom, under what conditions, and at what risk.
And when things break — as they always do — it’s QA who helps the team learn, not just fix.
What to Expect
In this blog series, I’ll reflect on how modern QA practices are adapting to today’s challenges and opportunities. I’ll share perspectives on:
-How our role as QA professionals is evolving in collaborative, fast-paced teams
-Where automation adds value — and where it still needs human intuition
-How to think critically about integrating new tools like AI without losing strategic focus
-What it takes to build a culture of quality that scales across teams, tools, and time zones
Expect practical insights, real examples, and a focus on relevance over hype.
If you’ve felt the growing pains of modern QA — the endless test maintenance, the pressure to automate everything, the unclear ownership of bugs — stay tuned.

Let’s Build the Future — Grounded
If you’re leading QA efforts, managing cross-functional teams, or just trying to keep up with this new frontier — you’re not alone. I hope this series gives you both clarity and confidence as we adapt together.
Progress is good. But grounded progress is great.
