I test software the way real users use it, including the mistakes, edge cases, and confusing paths that often get missed.
I’m a QA tester with 1 year of hands-on QA experience and 4 years of IT support experience. My IT background helps me troubleshoot quickly, understand user issues, and test software from both a technical and user-focused perspective.
What I bring to your project:
- Functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing across web apps and user workflows
- Clear, actionable bug reports with steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual results, severity, screenshots, and retest notes
- Defect tracking and test documentation in Jira and Qase
- Authentication, sign-up/sign-in, SSO, forms, dashboards, navigation, and third-party integration testing
- A user-first mindset that focuses on real-world behavior, not just happy paths
I work best with teams that care about quality, move fast, and need someone who communicates clearly, tests carefully, and helps prevent issues from reaching users.

Hi, I’m Kendall! I’m a Business Systems Analyst with 16+ years of experience in QA, manual testing, writing clear requirements, and helping teams get on the same page.
I figure out what the business actually needs, make sure it works for users, and help developers build it without all the extra chaos. I ask the questions nobody else is asking, catch issues early, and keep things from falling through the cracks.
I’ve worked across QA, UAT, process mapping, product ownership, and system cleanup—basically anywhere things need to make more sense. I’m an Air Force veteran, a quick thinker, and not afraid to speak up when something looks off. I like simple, clear systems that people can actually use—not just pretty slides and endless meetings.
Here’s what I do:
Write and review system requirements
Manual testing, UAT, bug tracking
Create user stories and acceptance criteria
Map out processes so everyone understands the flow
Work in Agile, Scrum, Waterfall—whatever your team uses
Communicate between business and dev teams without tech speak or corporate nonsense
Clean up messy backlogs and keep projects moving
If you need someone who can jump in fast, get up to speed, and help your project stay on track—I’m ready!
No fluff. No drama. Just solid work, a calm brain, and a tiny bit of sass when needed. 😊
Tools I’ve worked with include:
Testing & QA: Jira, HP ALM, Postman, BrowserStack, Manual Test Cases, Defect Tracking, UAT documentation
Project & Process Tools: Confluence, SharePoint, ServiceNow, Slack, Asana
ERP / CMS / Business Systems: PeopleSoft, Salesforce, NetSuite, WordPress, Shopify, Device42
Data & Analysis: SQL, Excel (advanced), Caliber RM, StarTeam, Swagger, Linux CLI (vi, tail, grep)
