A2Z Consultancy provides senior QA, Quality Management, Test Management and Automation expertise on a freelance, interim or contract basis. I help organisations strengthen quality governance, improve release confidence and introduce AI-assisted software delivery without losing control of requirements, evidence, risk or human release authority.
Apply established QA and Quality Management discipline to AI-assisted engineering — measurable requirements, layered testing, traceability, data-integration assurance, human UAT and explicit release governance.
Design sustainable automation frameworks across code, API, UI, integration and regression testing, with maintainability, ownership and CI/CD built into the architecture.
Senior Test Management, quality strategy, risk controls, supplier governance, KPIs, ways of working and decision-ready reporting for complex programmes and critical releases.
Market Sentinel demonstrates how established QA/QM disciplines can govern AI-accelerated engineering across a real software delivery lifecycle — from requirements and BDD through automated regression, live-data integration, performance testing, browser UAT and final release decisions.
I can join a programme as a Senior Test Manager or QA/QM Lead, step into an interim leadership role, support an SME on a fractional basis, or advise on a specific automation, AI-assisted delivery or quality-governance challenge.
SMEs & scale-ups that need senior QA capability without a permanent Head of QA.
Growing organisations introducing automation or AI-assisted engineering and needing stronger quality and release controls.
Enterprise & mission-critical teams that need Test Management, governance, architecture and programme-level quality leadership.
More than two decades across energy, telecommunications, digital platforms, financial services and technology, including senior QA and Test leadership roles at Nordic RCC, Merkle, GE Digital and TDC. That experience now also informs a practical approach to governing quality in AI-assisted software delivery.
