I’m a technical QA engineer who finds issues before users do—across UI, APIs, and data. I write clear bug reports, validate complex flows, and build automation that reduces regression risk and speeds up releases.
With ~10 years in Java and QA automation lead experience in product companies (iGaming), I’ve built custom, maintainable test frameworks and stabilized CI pipelines.
I can help with:
* Manual QA: functional/regression/exploratory testing, UX issues, release checklists
* API & technical validation: Postman/RestAssured, JSON validation, logs/data checks
* Automation: Selenium UI + API tests (JUnit/RestAssured, custom frameworks), Testcontainers, Allure, CI integration
* Performance: JMeter/Gatling (optional)
I’m happy to start manually and add automation where it gives the highest ROI. Open to a short paid trial (5–10 hours) to prove fit quickly.

Most developers build things. I fix them. When something breaks and nobody knows why, that's where I come in. I find the problem, fix it and you're back in business.
💥App crashing or acting weird - crashes for no reason, works differently on different devices, broken on mobile or some browsers, behaves strangely after an update.
💥App running slow - pages take forever to load, simple actions hang for too long, dashboards and reports are slow and painful to use.
💥Integration not working - app can't connect to another system, API stopped working after an update, two systems that simply won't talk to each other.
💥Vibe coded or can't deploy - AI-generated app nobody understands anymore, works locally but not on the server, agency left broken code behind and disappeared.
💥Old system - needs to move to a new platform, the company that built it is gone, old code nobody wants to touch but still needs new features.
💥Developer disappeared - left no documentation, nobody understands what is going on, project is stuck and nobody knows what to do next.
💥Security problems - app was hacked, serious security issues hiding in the code, private data got out and you need it fixed now.
Sound familiar?
I do not disappear. I do not hand you off to a junior. You get me, 20 years of experience, Expert-Vetted status and 100% Job Success. Every time.
Not sure if I can help?
Just tell me what is on fire. I will take a look and give you a straight answer. No "sugarcoating".

• Crypto integrations (USDT/ETH/BNB), Web3.js/Ethers.js
• Background jobs & queues (BullMQ/Redis)
• WebSockets
• Postgres/Mongo

• CI/CD & Docker deploys.
Recent work
• Crypto payment gateway (wallet gen + status webhooks)
• Smart-contract betting service + backend orchestration
• Auction scraper with MongoDB storage
