I’m Rachel Kibler! I’m a Senior Quality Engineer, international keynote speaker, and systems thinker who helps teams build better software.
I’ve spent the last nine years testing complex systems across healthcare, e‑commerce, banking, and logistics, from mobile apps to warehouse fulfillment integrations. I speak at conferences worldwide about AI in testing, cognitive bias, systems thinking, and how to lead without authority.
speaking
I deliver keynotes and workshops at international testing conferences on topics like AI in testing, real-world edge cases, cognitive bias, and leadership as an individual contributor. Recent appearances include Agile Testing Days (Berlin), TestCoast (Gothenburg), Testing Portugal, and CAST.
portfolio
I’m currently Senior Quality Engineer at SeekWell (1–800 Contacts), where I lead quality practices, develop training curricula, and test everything from eye exams to warehouse fulfillment systems. I also serve as QE Community Lead, publishing a biweekly newsletter and standardizing testing practices across the organization.
blog
I write about testing, systems thinking, and the gap between how we think software works and how it actually behaves. Occasionally I also write about board games, music, and other things that aren’t software.
