testItRight is built around Piotr Daszko — a senior QA engineer with 17 years of experience and ISTQB Advanced certification.

Piotr Daszko
Freelancer · AvailableQA Engineer & Test Automation Specialist · Potsdam, Germany
Master of Science in Mathematics (Jagiellonian University, Cracow). 17 years building and running QA for products where quality has a direct revenue impact — payments, checkout, integrations, and high-traffic systems. Combines deep automation engineering with the strategic perspective of a QA Lead or Test Manager. Currently also building AI-powered QA tooling.
Education
Trained as a Mathematician
MSc in Pure Mathematics from the Jagiellonian University of Cracow. The mathematical background shapes how test coverage, risk probability, boundary value analysis, and equivalence partitioning are approached — not as procedures to follow, but as problems to reason about.
Career
Freelancing Since 2016
Moved from permanent employment to freelance in 2016 after building a strong foundation at Home24 (3 years), Lumesse, and Sabre. Since then: 10 freelance engagements across Germany, UK, and remote — from individual contributor to QA Lead and team builder.
How Engagements Work
Direct work, team coordination, outsourcing, or staffing — here is how each mode works in practice.
You work directly with me
No account managers, no handoffs to juniors. The person you brief is the person writing the tests and building the framework.
Remote-first across Europe
Based in Potsdam, working fully remote since 2016. Fluent across DACH, UK, and international teams. EU timezone, fast turnaround.
Fast to productive
Years of freelance engagements mean ramping up quickly on an unfamiliar stack. Reading codebases, asking the right questions, and contributing from day one.
Flexible engagement model
Direct testing and automation, coordinating a group of testers on your project, QA outsourcing, or finding and vetting QA profiles for your team — the right model depends on what you actually need.
