The AI-Native Frontier: Redefining the Future of Quality Engineering

Recently, within the AT + GSC&MS division at Sysco LABS , our Quality Engineering community gathered for an event that felt less like a standard technical conference and more like a bold step into a new reality. QE Spark 2026 was a resounding success — not just as a showcase of cutting-edge technology, but as a declaration of a new strategy designed to fundamentally change how we think about scale, growth, and the role of the modern engineer. This transformative milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the two pillars of this event: Sujith Thushara , our Senior Manager Quality Engineering and Kasun de Silva , our Architect — Quality Engineering. It was their coordination, leadership, and forward-thinking vision that laid the groundwork for this strategic shift. As a speaker at QE Spark 2026, I was incredibly proud to help bring their vision to life on stage and share our roadmap with an energized, forward-looking community.
