Andy Johnson — Operations Associate
If your team is building complex software, especially with AI features or integration, traditional QA likely isn’t enough. The same challenges keep coming up: • Test automation is brittle or poorly maintained • Flaky pipelines slow down release cycles • Coverage gaps appear when LLMs or AI logic enter the system • Manual QA creates bottlenecks or arrives too late to prevent real risk I help engineering and product teams fix this by embedding experienced Quality Engineers, SDETs, and Test Leaders - on demand or as permanent hires. Here’s how I add value: • SDETs who stabilise automation and reduce test flakiness • Test leadership that drives quality practices across teams • AI-aware testers who can validate LLM output, catch edge case behaviour, and reduce regression risk Over the last 10 years, I’ve supported 200+ Quality Engineers and worked with many companies to improve how they build and ship quality software. I’ve developed a strong network of trusted specialists who are pre-screened and available fast. If you're shipping without full trust in your test coverage, losing time to unreliable automation, or just need support - I can probably help. 📧 andy@balancetalent.co.uk 📞 07590 407058
