Test strategy and automation, feature flags and observability, and a QA function that stays with the team after I leave.

- Open defects down from about 300 to under 100, together with engineering ([the story](https://fael.caporali.dev/journey#qa))
- Monitoring and proactive alerts that catch failures before customers have to report them ([the story](https://fael.caporali.dev/journey#qa))

## A bit of what I've delivered

### A construction-tech platform

QA Manager and Tech Lead. [The story](https://fael.caporali.dev/journey#qa)

- Joined as QA and went on to lead a team of five developers; ran hiring and trained the QA who took over the role.
- Feature flags and Datadog RUM brought open defects from about 300 to under 100.
- Led the construction-planning agents, from an n8n automation to products still in production.

## Tools

Jira, Cypress, Cucumber, Gherkin, TypeScript, Docker, Docker Compose, MySQL, GrowthBook, OpenFeature, Datadog, ESLint

## What I can build for you

- [AI products and agents, in production](https://fael.caporali.dev/services/ai-agents.md): From an idea or a first prototype all the way to production: agents that work together with human review, WhatsApp agents, RAG knowledge bases, agent evaluation and usage-based billing.
- [From MVP to a product that scales](https://fael.caporali.dev/services/mvp-to-scalable-product.md): I turn MVPs and existing systems into software a team can maintain and grow: monorepo, multi-tenancy, CI/CD, infrastructure as code and cloud architecture.
- [Technical leadership and team training](https://fael.caporali.dev/services/tech-leadership.md): Leading a team from the problem to the delivery: requirements, cadence and deadlines, hiring, and training people until the team runs on its own.
