Hi, I’m Clara Ramos González
Senior QA Manager, Trainer & Speaker
I’ve spent the last 14+ years working in Software Quality Assurance, helping teams and organizations build better products through solid testing practices, clear quality metrics, and a shared sense of ownership.
Today, I work as a Senior QA Manager, Trainer and Coach, supporting QA professionals, developers and stakeholders to embrace quality as a mindset, not just a phase. I also bring my background as a yoga teacher and dedicated meditator into my work, integrating mindfulness, emotional balance and conscious leadership into the way we build software.
Who I Am
Who I Am
I started my journey in tech more than a decade ago, curious about how software actually works and why so many issues reach production. That curiosity soon became a vocation: helping teams build reliable, meaningful products through quality.
Over the years I’ve worked as a QA engineer, consultant, team lead and now Senior QA Manager, collaborating with cross-functional teams across different industries and countries. My focus has always been the same: make quality visible, measurable and shared.
Along the way, I also became a yoga teacher and a devoted meditator. This personal practice deeply influences how I lead, teach and mentor. For me, quality is not only about software, it’s about how we show up, how we communicate, and how we grow as human beings while we build technology.
What I Do Today
QA Leadership & Strategy
QA Manager & Consultant
I help organizations bring quality closer to the business by defining QA strategies, metrics and processes that work in real life. From test management to quality gates and dashboards, I support teams in making quality a shared responsibility, not just the QA team’s “problem”.
Training & Coaching
Trainer & Coach for QA Professionals
I design and deliver training programs for new and experienced QAs, developers and stakeholders. My approach is hands on, clear and human, helping people build confidence with real tools, real projects and constant feedback.
Conferences & Speaking
International Speaker & Industry Ambassador
I’m a regular speaker at IT and QA conferences around the world, sharing practical strategies on test management, agile quality, GenAI in QA and conscious leadership. I love turning complex topics into something simple, useful and inspiring.
Mindfulness at Work
Integrating Code & Calm
As a yoga teacher and meditator, I introduce breathing techniques, stress management tools and mindful practices into workshops and team sessions. My mission is to show that productivity and wellbeing are not opposites, they reinforce each other.
