This year I’m making my work more visible—not for vanity, but for usefulness. I want to document what I’m learning in real projects, the mistakes and recoveries, and the practical tools that actually help. My hope is simple: other QAs can pick up something they can use this sprint, and we can learn together.
Below is my personal vision and plan, plus how I’d love the community to get involved.
1) Write More—So We Can Learn Together
I’ll be publishing consistently about:
- Work stories: context → decision → result (what worked, what didn’t).
- Techniques and templates: customer alignment, early bug detection, bug communication, integrating quality in all the stages of the sdlc.
- Encounters from the field: test system challenges, work-relationships wins and obstacles, fun and life-learning experiences, leadership learnings, inspirations, anything!.
Why writing? I always find writing therapeutic, plus I’am able to contribute to the QA community which I care about!
2) Master AI—and Build QA Systems That Truly Help Teams
AI won’t be able to replace nor surpass what human talents, commitment, strength can do. So instead of fearing what is up ahead, I plan on directing my focus this year to the following:
- AI first principles learning by Understanding how AI works (data → training → optimization → evaluation → deployment) well enough to design QA test plans and systems around it.
- Build tools and guardrails that serves the QA operational workflows in terms of both speed, and context-effectiveness.
- Keep championing QA not as an afterthought or a “test this” function, but as:
- Champions of customer expectations and needs
- Partners and business enablers who turn risk into clear decisions
3) Upskilling Over Fear—Anything Can Be Learned
The only way through change is learning. This year I’m choosing:
- Skills over anxiety
- Practice over perfection
- Community over isolation
Expect short “learn-with-me” posts, small experiments, and honest notes on what it took to get something working.
What You Can Expect Here
- Cadence: short, useful reads you can apply immediately, plus deeper guides when needed.
- Formats: checklists, one-pager summaries, and real examples from the field.
- Community: comment with your context, share your own experiments, and request topics. I’ll incorporate them into upcoming posts.
