The Problem

Aggressive deadlines push engineers to skip automated testing. The result is a vicious cycle that reduces velocity and drains morale.

🔥 Code Breaks Easily

Without test coverage, even small changes risk breaking existing features

🐛 Regression Bugs

The same bugs keep coming back, slowing down releases and frustrating customers

😰 Fear of Change

Engineers hesitate to improve code, piling up technical debt week after week

The Solution: Shift Left

By strengthening automated testing, your engineers can:

  • Innovate without fear of breaking features
  • Improve code quality week by week
  • Deliver features faster and with fewer bugs
  • Build confidence in refactoring and optimization

The Value

For a typical 5-person team, regression bugs cost approximately $120,000 annually

$78K Lost feature velocity (opportunity cost)
$15K Customer churn from poor experiences
$12K Increased engineer turnover
$10K Support overhead
$5K Direct debugging costs

Full Package ROI:

10x Year 1 Return
37x 3-Year Return
4-6 Weeks to Payback

The Results

📊 Immediate

Concrete proof of which bugs were preventable, demonstrated with working tests

🎯 Short-term

Clear understanding of your highest-risk code paths and testing gaps

🚀 Long-term

A prioritized roadmap for expanding coverage, enabling your team to build on this foundation

💡 Cultural

Engineers who feel empowered to test proactively, not just react to bugs—a culture of innovation rather than hesitation

Why Me

I bring over a decade of experience building mobile and web applications at Capital One and Endeavor, where I led "Shift Left" quality initiatives that transformed how teams approached testing.

My specialty is mobile and frontend testing—the areas teams most often neglect

  • 10+ years building iOS, Android, and React applications
  • Led quality initiatives for teams of 10-50 engineers
  • Architected testing strategies that balance comprehensive coverage with maintainability
  • Expert in XCTest, SwiftTesting, JUnit/Espresso, Jest, and React Testing Library
  • Focus on pragmatic testing: right tests, right places, maintainable long-term

What makes this different:

I don't give generic testing advice. I analyze YOUR bugs, write tests in YOUR codebase, and create a roadmap for YOUR priorities. You get working proof, not theoretical best practices.
