I'm a reliable and detail-oriented freelancer with experience in software testing, web development, virtual assistance, and IT support. I love helping businesses improve their products, streamline their workflows, and deliver high-quality results.
I have over 3 years of experience in manual quality assurance (QA) testing, where I have tested web applications for functionality, usability, payment workflows, and user experience. I am skilled at identifying bugs, documenting issues clearly, and ensuring applications work as expected before they reach customers.
In addition to QA, I have experience as a Virtual Assistant, providing services such as data entry, web research, lead generation, email management, spreadsheet organization, and administrative support. I am comfortable working with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Zoho, and various online business tools.
I also develop modern web and mobile applications using technologies such as Flutter, Next.js, Node.js, JavaScript, etc. I enjoy building responsive, user-friendly applications and solving technical challenges using AI tools like Codex and Cursor.
