Dawid Florczak

QA Lead / AI Engineer

I build AI-augmented QA flows that let teams ship faster and catch the bugs before users do.

A decade of owning quality

I have spent over a decade in QA. I build test automation frameworks, own release processes, and set up the pipelines that carry them. I have built two QA teams from the first hire and led both, at a software house and at a US insurance product. For the last two years the work has been AI-augmented QA, which means agentic test flows, reusable skills, and tooling wired into CI so developers can test their own code before it reaches review. I now do that independently, through consulting, QA audits and one-to-one mentoring.

Work with me

For teams

  • QA audit

    A full read of how your team tests: coverage, flakiness, pipeline feedback time, and what is quietly costing you releases. You get the findings and the order to fix them in.

    A team inheriting a suite, or one whose releases keep slipping

    ENQUIRE

  • Consulting

    Ongoing work on your test strategy, your automation framework or your CI. I work inside your codebase and your process rather than handing over a document.

    A team building or rebuilding quality practice

    ENQUIRE

For individuals

Recorded modules and written material that stay yours, plus live one-to-one sessions with me while you work through them. The recordings do the teaching. The sessions catch the bad habit in week two instead of week six.

    AI-Augmented QA

    Upcoming

    6 weeks · Intermediate · One to one, self-paced

    Put AI to work inside your test process: agentic test flows, reusable skills, and pre-merge self-testing that actually shortens feedback loops.

    • Designing agentic test flows that hold up in a real codebase
    • Building reusable AI skills your whole team can run
    • Wiring Claude Code, Cursor and MCP into CI/CD
    • Where AI helps in QA, and where it quietly costs you
    DETAILS

  • Automation Foundations

    Upcoming

    4 weeks · Beginner · One to one, self-paced

    The ground floor of test automation: Git, a repository you can actually run, and a working local environment, so the first automated test is not the first obstacle.

    • Git day to day: branches, commits, pull requests, and undoing mistakes
    • Cloning a repository and getting its suite running locally
    • Node, package managers, and why versions are pinned
    • Running a first test and reading what the failure actually says
    DETAILS

  • Playwright Foundations

    Upcoming

    4 weeks · Beginner · One to one, self-paced

    Go from zero to a maintainable end-to-end suite: selectors that survive refactors, stable waits, and a framework your team will keep using.

    • Project structure and fixtures that scale
    • Killing flakiness at the source
    • Running suites in parallel in CI
    • Debugging with traces and the Playwright inspector
