Hi, I’m Mbah Sama — a Software Quality and Information Security professional.
For nearly two decades, I’ve helped teams build, test and deliver software they can rely on. Today, I bring Software Quality, Test Automation, Information Security and Business Continuity together to help organisations deliver with confidence — quality that can be demonstrated and security that can stand up to an audit.
I work hands-on: developing test strategies, building automation frameworks, coaching teams, and implementing and auditing ISMS and BCM. Whether you’re a growing SME, bank or fintech, my focus is practical solutions that work in the real world — Germany and EU focused, bilingual, and independent of company size.

We hold ourselves to a high bar — before our clients can tell our story, we’ll tell you the promise we make to every team we serve. These three obligations are how we want to be remembered: not for what we delivered, but for what you can now do without us.
Every test strategy and automation we deliver comes with evidence — traceable, runnable, and audit-ready — so you can show, not just claim, quality.
Every ISMS and BCM control is implemented to pass an audit on day one — practical documentation, clear SoA, and hand-over, not a binder for the shelf.
Package-based, predictable pricing and responsive support — we’re measured on whether your team ships confidently without us next quarter.
Real client quotes and logos will appear here once approved — clients will be invited to submit reviews after delivery.
Same questions we answer for Google — visible here for you.
We help SMEs, banks and fintechs turn quality and security into competitive advantage — test strategy, test automation (Playwright/Cypress/Selenium), ISO 27001 ISMS implementation & audit, and Business Continuity (ISO 22301) for the German and EU markets, bilingual EN/DE.
