I help teams test websites and web applications, find issues, and document them clearly before they affect users. My background includes 10+ years supporting SaaS applications, product configuration systems, customer-facing business tools, software validation, troubleshooting, and issue resolution. I’m comfortable working through complex workflows, comparing expected and actual behavior, and communicating findings in a way developers and stakeholders can act on. I can help with: Manual QA and functional testing Regression and usability testing User-flow and edge-case testing Responsive and cross-browser checks Clear bug reports with reproduction steps Retesting fixes and release validation Forms, links, buttons, navigation, and content checks QA summaries and test documentation Basic website content updates Recent work includes testing a Next.js web application, stress-testing OCR and document-processing workflows, validating an expense-processing tool and its exports, and performing structured QA on agency websites. I also work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, GitHub, Vercel, Netlify, and GoDaddy, which helps me understand the technical side of the products I test. My approach is simple: understand the intended workflow, test it carefully, document what fails, and verify the fix.
