ISTQB-Certified Test Leader With 18+ Years of Experience Building Bulletproof QA

With 18+ years in software quality assurance—including 7 years as a Test Manager—I’ve led end-to-end testing initiatives across complex, safety-critical domains, particularly automotive and embedded systems. Certified as an ISTQB Tester, I combine industry-standard methodologies with real-world pragmatism to design robust test strategies, optimize test coverage, and reduce escape defects. My approach integrates manual and automated testing, risk-based testing, traceability, and compliance with standards like ISO 26262 and Automotive SPICE. I specialize in building scalable QA processes, mentoring test teams, and aligning testing activities with development lifecycle models (V-model, Agile) to ensure high-quality, auditable, and release-ready software.

INTACS™-Certified ASPICE Assessor Helping Automotive Software Teams Achieve Comp

As an INTACS™-certified ASPICE Professional Assessor, I bring deep, hands-on experience in evaluating and improving software development processes against the Automotive SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination) model. I specialize in conducting gap analyses, process appraisals, and capability assessments for automotive software suppliers targeting ASPICE maturity levels 2 and 3.

My guidance covers core and support processes—including SYS.1–SYS.5, SWE.1–SWE.6, MAN.3, and SUP.1–SUP.9—with a practical focus on aligning engineering practices with OEM expectations, reducing audit risks, and building sustainable, compliant development workflows. Whether you're preparing for a customer-mandated assessment or building an internal process framework from scratch, I provide realistic, actionable steps—not just theory, but field-tested implementation support.

How would you quickly prototype/test a service that usually takes place over several months?

I have been a tester for more than 18 years and a test manager in Automotive industry. In the end, testing is the same. It depends what results do you need to monitor and what fast solutions you need.

The best solution would be try -error approach. Basically constant deployments with resolved problems and request problems (or sugestions for improving) in live environment. Set Up Trello or any kind of tiketing system that helps you also in visualizing the existing problems and also the resolved ones.
Feedback should be very specific: 1 problem at a time. Otherwise it would be a mixture of problems and will be very hard to maintain.

We could have a call to assess the topic more if the solution provided is not enough.

What is the best job to get to learn to become an entrepreneur? Working at a VC as an analyst? Work in Sales? Work in Marketing? Consulting?

As an Entreprenour you need to focus on a niche. If you have something in mind then you can already start.
First steps you would need:
1. Start researching your niche
2. What problem does it resolve?
3. What help will give to specific group of people (target people).
4. What is your target?
5. What do you need to start?

If you want to experience this try doing digital affiliate marketing.

The solution would be: digistore24 -> social media -> patience.

Once you master this try implementing what you have learned in your desire niche, experiment and improve.
