tiQtoQ
2023 — present
tiQtoQ needed to bring fragmented software-testing data into a single platform that could show both engineering quality and business risk. We architected and led the end-to-end development of the resulting multi-tenant system, covering the React front end, Node.js and Azure Functions services, MySQL data layer, test-result ingestion and cloud deployment.
The platform brings results from different testing tools into a shared view of software quality. We developed cross-project reporting and business-workflow risk views, alongside AI-assisted failure analysis that collects test evidence and returns structured diagnostics. The AI processing uses Azure Service Bus and Azure AI Foundry, with versioned prompts and controls on model usage.
The engagement also covers requirements and roadmap planning, guidance for other developers, CI/CD, Bicep infrastructure changes, managed database migrations and production support.

“Ross fitted seamlessly into our team from the outset and very quickly became someone we trusted and relied upon. He took a product from concept through to production with very little development support, working closely with subject matter experts to understand the requirements and turn them into a successful working product.
His contribution went well beyond the product he was brought in to build. Ross became a trusted advisor across a number of our products, always willing to share his experience, challenge ideas constructively and help wherever he could.
There was never any distinction between Ross and our permanent team members — he was simply one of the team. He regularly stepped in to help with issues outside his formal remit and approached everyone he worked with, regardless of role or seniority, in the same friendly, approachable and professional manner.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ross to any organisation. He is an excellent engineer, but just as importantly, he has a rare ability to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with people at all levels. He combines strong technical expertise with a friendly, approachable and collaborative manner, allowing him to make a genuine contribution well beyond the immediate work he is brought in to deliver.”
