I work well with early-stage products, SaaS tools, mobile, and web applications. If your product is about to launch, has just shipped, or users are reporting frustrating bugs in production, I can help. My goal is simple: find the problems before your customers do, so you ship with confidence, reduce support tickets, and avoid costly fixes later. I've spent 10+ years breaking products before users see them live. Along the way, I also owned product delivery, which changed how I approach testing. I don't just check whether features work. I look for edge cases, confusing workflows, business logic gaps, and usability issues that can frustrate users and become production headaches later. I've tested products for early-stage startups as well as brands like Meow Mix, Jack Daniel's, Aramark, and State Farm. What I deliver: • Functional and UX testing with written findings ranked by priority. • Screen-recorded walkthroughs so you see exactly what I found and why it matters. • Product feedback that goes beyond bugs: workflow gaps, friction points, and what to fix first. _____ Currently creating AI-powered landing pages, bots, and automation tools.
