The practice
About
Fourteen years of shipping software where being wrong had consequences.
We are an independent software quality engineering practice in Richmond, Virginia. The work is verification: manual and exploratory testing, automation in Playwright and Selenium WebDriver, GenAI agents built and deployed for QA, and an accountable position on whether a release is safe to ship.
The practice is built on fourteen years in software quality and test automation across consumer finance, healthcare, insurance services, and automotive retail. Those are industries where a defect is not an inconvenience — it is a regulatory finding, a financial loss, or a customer who cannot access something they need.
That background is the whole reason this practice exists. We have watched engineering teams adopt AI coding assistants over the last two years and get measurably faster, and we have watched the verification layer around them stay exactly where it was. The gap between those two things is where defects now live.
We build AI agents for QA work ourselves, which is precisely why we are specific about what they are for. An agent can read every diff in a repository and propose where coverage is missing; it cannot hold a position on whether your release is safe. We do both, and we do not confuse them.
Our founder holds CompTIA Security+ and is completing a BS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at WGU. We mention the second one because it is in progress, not finished — we would rather tell you that than let you infer otherwise. Security testing joins this practice when we hold a credential that justifies charging for it, and not before.
The company is a Virginia LLC based in Richmond, Virginia. It carries technology errors and omissions, cyber liability, and general liability cover; we will send a certificate on request.
Principles
Each of these is falsifiable. You can hold us to all five.
- Fixed prices, quoted before work starts. You do not carry the risk of our estimate being wrong.
- Every finding is human-verified. We build AI agents and we use them to go faster. We do not ship their output as our conclusion.
- We will tell you when you do not need us. A diagnostic that finds nothing serious is a successful diagnostic, and we would rather you know that than hire us again for the wrong reason.
- No production data. We work in synthetic or masked data unless you specifically require otherwise.
- The senior engineer who scopes your work is on the delivery. We take a limited number of engagements at a time so that stays true. You will not be sold by one person and handed to another.
