Three ways to hire me

Pick the depth you need. Each one covers two angles: QA that keeps releases boring, and AI engineering that ships LLM features to production.

  • [ai]LLM features and agents designed, shipped and run with evals and guardrails

Two weeks, one verdict. I map where your QA and your AI stack actually stand, and exactly what to fix first.

  • [qa]Coverage, CI and release flow reviewed, with AI-assisted flake analysis
  • [qa]90-day fix plan: one page for the board, one repo for the engineers
  • [ai]Your AI features run against an eval set: where they break, how often
  • [ai]Models compared blind on your prompts, so you pick on output, not brand
Custom pricing2 weeks · deliverables in writing · satisfaction guaranteed

03 / workshop

QA / AI engineering workshop

Hands-on training that sticks. The same week, your engineers write tests with AI and evals for the AI they ship.

  • [qa]AI-assisted testing with Playwright and Claude, live on your codebase
  • [qa]100% of my past trainees landed QA jobs after sessions
  • [ai]Evals your team runs on its own: golden set, LLM judge, accuracy gate

>_ the "...and for hire" part

Or just hire me.

The cards above rent you a few hours a week. A full-time seat gets the whole engineer - 13 years of building AI, leading QA, and making releases boring - in your standup every morning.

Patryk is professional and caring, and works effectively in difficult situations where multiple conflicting demands make a good solution hard to find.

Steve Abbot - Sr. SRE Engineer, Centene

Patryk always showed great proactivity, anticipating issues and proposing ideas to overcome them. He implemented several processes that the whole company adopted as part of its QA and release process.

Jose Gorchs - Software Product Owner

Patryk juggles multiple projects without ever lowering standards. His attention to detail is some of the best I've seen - when he says something is tested, no use case was missed.
