Need a smooth, bug-free product before launch? I help start-ups, agencies and independent developers ship software that works, catching functional bugs, usability issues and cross-device inconsistencies early, so you avoid bad reviews and costly fixes later. With 6+ years of QA experience across healthcare, legal tech, and the third sector, I bring structure and clarity to testing, and I communicate results in plain language your whole team can act on. What I deliver: • Functional, regression & exploratory testing (web + mobile) • Cross-browser and cross-device testing (desktop Windows, iPad, mobile IOS) • Clear bug reports — screenshots/video, expected vs actual, reproduction steps, severity priority • Test case creation and QA documentation • API & backend-response validation • UX & usability feedback — I highlight what confuses real users, not just what breaks the code • Requirements review & user story writing — if you need help defining what to build before testing it • Spanish-English translation & proofreading — native Spanish speaker, fluent English, 20+ years in the UK. Tools I use: Chrome DevTools · BrowserStack · Postman · Trello · Notion · screen recording for video bug reports Why work with me: I combine attention to detail with clear, fast communication. I adapt to your workflow — whether you need a quick pre-launch bug hunt, a full test cycle, or a fresh pair of eyes on your UX. I work well with small teams and solo founders who need reliable output without the overhead. Recent work includes a pre-pilot QA review for a non-profit platform, covering admin workflows, access control, end-user journeys, and UX friction — delivered as a prioritised bug report ready to hand straight to a developer. Send me your build or URL and I’ll deliver a detailed QA report within 24–48 hours.
