01 / ongoing

Fractional Head of QA

Your QA org, run by someone who has built two of them. Senior leadership without the senior headcount.

  • QA strategy and multi-quarter roadmap delivered in the first 30 days
  • Release process that survives audits: GxP, HIPAA, and enterprise-grade experience
  • Hiring, mentoring, and structure for teams from 2 to 100+ QA consultants
  • Agentic AI test automation wired into your CI, not bolted on
from 4 800 EUR/mo 2 days per week · 3-month minimum · remote or Gdansk
Book intro call

02 / fixed scope

AI-assisted QA audit

Two weeks, one verdict. I map where your quality actually stands and exactly what to fix first.

  • Full review of test coverage, CI pipeline, and release flow
  • AI-assisted flake and gap analysis across your existing suite
  • Prioritized 90-day remediation roadmap your team can execute
  • Executive readout: one page for the board, one repo for the engineers
6 500 EUR fixed 2 weeks · deliverables in writing · satisfaction guaranteed
Book intro call

03 / workshop

Team workshop

Hands-on training that sticks. Your engineers leave shipping tests with AI the same week.

  • AI-assisted testing with Playwright and Claude, live on your codebase
  • From manual to agentic: a migration path your team actually follows
  • Test strategy design developers will not quietly ignore
  • 100% of my past trainees landed QA jobs after sessions
from 2 400 EUR/day 1-2 days · up to 12 people · on-site or remote

What teams say after

>_

Patryk rebuilt our QA strategy in one quarter and the release anxiety simply disappeared. He is the rare quality leader engineers actually listen to, because he reads the code before he writes the process.

Marta K. VP Engineering, enterprise AI platform
>_

We had 12 parallel projects and a release process held together with hope. Patryk gave us structure, a device lab, and a team of 100+ external testers that ran itself within months.

Tobias R. CPO, consumer audio company
>_

The audit paid for itself before the readout ended. The 90-day roadmap was specific enough that we just executed it, and our escaped-defect rate dropped by half in the first release cycle.

Flexible, self-driven engineering leader and test engineer. BA in Informatics, pursuing a Masters in Psychology at SWPS. Known as "PaaS - Patryk as a Service" because teams keep me on speed dial.

Conference speaker at Agile Testing Days, TestWarez, Conselenium, and Test:Fest. Outside work I run Poland's largest Minecraft community and ship side projects ranging from brain wave visualizers to spatial computing apps.

Ship faster.
Break less.

One intro call. Thirty minutes. You leave with at least one fix for your release process, whether we work together or not.
