Social QA Bootcamp

I'm the last person you should be asking for QA career advice by any traditional metric.

I barely have 5 years of QA experience. My degree was in Spanish. My first QA job fell into my lap.

But that "fell into my lap" part isn't the whole story.

Back in 2013, I was terrible with people.

Two failed relationships, each lasting about 2 months, made me realize I couldn't even hold a basic conversation.

Parties felt pointless - I'd spend the whole time overthinking what to say instead of meeting anyone.

I started studying social dynamics just to fix my personal life. I had no idea it would transform my career.

In 2019, I got my first-ever promotion.

Not because I was the best cashier, but because my store manager put in a good word when I transferred Walgreens locations.

$10/hr became $13.75/hr as a shift lead.

That's when it clicked: being easy to work with and building good relationships was more valuable than just doing the job well.

This mindset helped me jump from retail to tech support at $17/hr.

Then to QA at $40k.

I got a $5k raise after building a test data tool nobody asked me to build.

Then to QA Automation at $70k.

Then $80k after a year.

The real problem wasn't just money. It was agency.

I realized I was trapped: Unable to choose my customers, projects, or days off. Dependent on employers. Ceiling on my income.

So I decided to change everything:

I learned content writing so I wouldn’t be another profile in the LinkedIn Ocean.

Then I dabbled in email marketing so I wouldn’t be dependent on any social media platform.

I learned the basics of sales so I could get paid to learn new skills while helping other QA Engineers

upskill for today’s job market.

And this journey led me to achieve incredible things in the first 12 months:

I knew nobody was making courses on this, especially not for QA Engineers.

So I reverse-engineered my 5-year career and came up with a system that allows you to download my most valuable skills into your brain in less than 6 months.

Instead of making you teach yourself with video lectures, I made a course where you and I work together to accomplish your learning goals.

I designed a curriculum that doesn't simply train you, but teaches you how to learn.

This is infinitely more valuable because your success in QA — and in life — depends on your ability to learn skills most people are not talking about yet.

It's how you stay ahead of the curve and get first dibs on jobs asking for bleeding-edge skills.

It's how I had 1 year of Playwright experience when most people had 0.

But I learned quickest when I had a mentor guiding me or a coach holding me accountable.

I'm going to be both of those for you in this course.

I got sick and tired of seeing courses that were clearly from lazy instructors who'd rather sell than teach.

This course is designed to build your confidence as a QA Engineer, because confident people can learn whatever they want.

You deserve to have that freedom.

I spent 5 years in the trenches writing bad tests, broken test frameworks, sloppy bug reports, boring content, and generally messing up in every area of QA and content-writing, so you can have all the lessons without the scars, and without the stress of learning it all by yourself.

Years ago, I was exactly where you are now.

I didn't know how I was ever going to be the kind of person who could say "of course I can" when someone asked me if I could "automate that test" (let alone "build test automation from scratch").

I didn't even know what QA was before 2020, but somehow I managed to figure it out.

But I didn't do it by myself. I had help. And now, so can you.

This is the last time this course will be this price. If all goes well -- and based on early-bird student feedback, it definitely is -- I'll be re-launching in 2025 at double the current price.

Anyone who gets in now will have this course for a lifetime.

I know nobody else is offering a course like this right now. That's why I made it. If your 2025 bucket list includes any of these...
