Two QA Engineers Who Got Tired of Watching Bugs Ship

Muhammad and Mohammad spent years doing QA inside software teams. They saw the same problems everywhere. goGreenlit is their answer.

Where goGreenlit Came From

Muhammad Ali and Mohammad Khan met while working in the same industry circle – two QA engineers who had each spent nearly a decade watching the same pattern repeat itself. A startup grows fast. QA is either an afterthought or a bottleneck. Bugs ship. Users complain. The team scrambles.

They had both been on the inside of teams where QA was bolted on at the end of the sprint – where "we'll test it before release" meant a two-hour manual sweep the night before a deploy. They had also both worked for larger organizations that had done it right: QA embedded in sprint ceremonies, defects caught before they ever reached staging, coverage tracked and reported every week.

The problem was that early-stage companies almost never had access to that second kind of QA. Enterprise QA practices required enterprise budgets and in-house hiring timelines that early-stage teams couldn't support. The options for a 15-person startup were basically: hire one junior QA engineer and hope for the best, or use a testing factory that treated every ticket the same way regardless of risk.

goGreenlit was built to close that gap. To give startups and Series A-B companies access to the kind of structured, embedded QA that only large engineering organizations typically have – without the overhead of building it from scratch.

What Makes goGreenlit Different

We are not a testing factory. We don't run tickets through a queue. We don't hand you a test report PDF and call it a week's work.

We embed inside your team. That means joining your sprint ceremonies, participating in your defect triage, building test cases alongside your developers, and tracking coverage metrics that tell you something real about the state of your software.

Both founders are personally involved in every engagement. When you hire goGreenlit, you are working with Muhammad or Mohammad directly – not a project manager passing work to offshore testers. That matters because QA that works requires judgment: knowing what to test, in what order, at what depth. That judgment comes from experience, and experience is what you're paying for.

Our Philosophy on Quality

Quality is a team sport. The best QA engineers don't sit in a separate room and throw defects over the wall – they work alongside developers, participate in design reviews, challenge requirements before a line of code is written, and catch problems at the cheapest point in the development cycle.

QA that happens at the end of a sprint is not QA. It is damage control. By the time a feature is "done" and handed to a tester, the cost of changing it has already increased by an order of magnitude. The whole point of embedded QA is to shift that intervention point left – to find problems when they are still cheap to fix.

This is what we build for every client. Not a testing checklist. Not a coverage report that looks good on paper. A genuine quality function that operates inside the engineering process and actually prevents the bugs that matter.

We are small by design. A larger team would require us to delegate work to engineers who don't have the same level of experience we do. We would rather work with fewer clients and do better work than scale by hiring people we couldn't personally vouch for.

Based in Chicago, Built for Remote

goGreenlit is headquartered in Chicago, but all of our client work is done remotely. We have worked with teams across multiple time zones and have the communication patterns to make asynchronous collaboration work – daily written standups, structured defect reports, and weekly coverage summaries that don't require a meeting to understand.

If you are based in Chicago and want to meet in person, that works too. But most of our clients are distributed teams who need a QA partner that fits into their existing remote workflow.
