About Amanda Curtis

Great software isn’t tested at the end. It’s built right from the start. As a QA Manager, I lead teams to catch issues before they become problems. With 17+ years in IT—including 10+ in manual testing, 4+ in automation, and 2+ in leadership—I’ve seen how the right testing strategy saves time, money, and headaches. I specialize in Native Mobile, Responsive Web Mobile, Web, Functional, API, and Salesforce testing, combining deep technical skills with a sharp eye for risk. I thrive in remote environments, ensuring teams stay aligned, productive, and committed to delivering top-tier software. In addition to traditional testing, I apply AI-assisted testing practices, including: LLM testing, prompt engineering, and red teaming concepts through hands-on work with enterprise applications. This work goes beyond bug-finding- It enables teams to- Evaluate the best AI tools for their needs - Analyze cost vs. value to make smart adoption decisions - Identify AI vulnerabilities and security risks before they impact the organization By combining QA discipline with AI risk assessment, I help organizations adopt AI responsibly and effectively. Beyond my corporate role, I founded "The Lemonade Tech" consulting. Today, Lemonade Tech is focused on- Elevating QA Testers: through modern processes, Automation, AI-assisted testing, and smarter tool adoption- Supporting Entrepreneurs & Small Businesses: helping business owners cut through tech overwhelm, choose the right tools, and explore AI responsibly without adding unnecessary complexity to save time and reduce stress. I believe AI won’t replace testers (or entrepreneurs!), but those who learn to leverage AI effectively will outpace those who don't.
