Does this sound familiar?
Most teams don't have a testing problem. They have a nobody-owns-it problem.
Four situations where an independent tester changes the outcome.
Product manager
“We're shipping quickly and I'm worried we're missing edge cases.”
Requirements turned into structured, real-world testing.
Development agency
“We need additional QA capacity for a project.”
Experienced QA capacity, added exactly when you need it.
Existing product team
“We already have QA, but we need an independent review before an important release.”
A fresh pair of expert eyes before your customers.
Services
What I can test for you
These are proposed categories. We'll shape the actual scope around your product, your release and your risks.
Manual Web Testing
I use your product the way real people do and report what breaks, confuses or slows them down.
Exploratory Testing
Unscripted, curious testing that finds the problems nobody wrote a requirement for.
Regression Testing
Confirm that last week's fix didn't quietly break something that used to work.
Cross-browser / Cross-device Testing
See what your customers see on the browsers and devices they actually use.
API Testing (where applicable)
Check requests, responses and error handling behind the interface, when the product calls for it.
Test Case & Scenario Design
Clear, reusable test scenarios built from your requirements, so testing doesn't live in one person's head.
Release / Pre-launch QA
A focused pass on the critical flows right before go-live, with a clear view of what is and isn't ready.
QA Audit
An independent look at how quality is handled today, with practical recommendations on what to fix first.
Don't see your exact need? Scope is adjustable, and we can combine categories.
Why work with me
Experience you can feel in the bug reports
~10 years in testing
A decade of hands-on manual QA and software testing across real products.
Business-domain experience
I've tested in iGaming, game platforms, CRM and banking products, where mistakes cost real money and trust.
Detail-oriented
I prepare thoroughly and look at the parts of a product that others skim past.
Clear communication
Every bug is explained so developers can reproduce it and fix it, without a meeting to decode it.
Independent perspective
I'm not part of your team's assumptions, which is exactly why I notice them.
Human + AI
Testing judgment comes first. Where AI-assisted workflows genuinely help, I use them. Where they don't, I don't.
My approach
QA that thinks beyond the happy path.
Your team has already checked that it works when everything goes right. I spend my time on what happens when it doesn't.
The happy path
Sign in→Add item→Pay→Confirmation
Works in the demo. Then real people show up.
- What if… the user does it twice?
- What if… the network fails halfway?
- What if… the data is incomplete?
- What if… the product behaves unexpectedly?
- What if… two processes happen at once?
- What if… it breaks after the next release?
- What if… the requirements hide an assumption?
How I work
A simple process you can follow
-
Understand
I learn your product, your users and your goals for this release.
-
Plan
I identify the critical flows, the risks and the edge cases worth your time.
-
Test
Structured manual and exploratory testing, documented as I go.
-
Report
Clear, actionable findings with priorities, so you know what to fix first.
-
Verify
I retest the fixes and confirm the issues are really gone.
Fit
Who I work best with
- Startups preparing for launch
- SaaS companies shipping rapidly
- Product teams without dedicated QA
- Development agencies needing QA capacity
- Teams preparing a major release
- Companies wanting an independent product review
Not sure whether you need QA?
That's a fair question, and a short conversation is usually enough to answer it.
Let's talk about your productFlexible engagement
Work together in the way that fits
One-off QA audit
An independent snapshot of your product's quality and risks.
Pre-release testing
A focused pass before an important launch or release.
Short-term testing sprint
A defined burst of testing capacity for a project or deadline.
Ongoing QA support
Regular testing alongside your team as the product evolves.
Pricing depends on the product, scope and testing requirements.
FAQ
Questions you may have
Do you only work with startups?
No. Startups are a natural fit, but I also work with product teams, SaaS companies and development agencies, including teams that already have QA and want an independent review.
Can you test an existing product?
Yes. Many products have been live for a while and never had structured testing. I can review the current state, find what's broken or risky, and help you prioritise.
Can you work alongside our developers?
Yes. I'm happy to work in your tracker and your communication tools, and I write bug reports so developers can reproduce and fix issues quickly.
Is it one-off or ongoing?
Either. Some teams need a single audit or pre-release pass, others prefer a short sprint or regular support. We'll pick what makes sense for your product.
What do you need to get started?
Access to the product (a test environment is ideal), a short walkthrough of what it should do, and any existing requirements or notes. If documentation is thin, that's fine; we can work it out together.
Can you test before our launch?
Yes, and that's one of the most useful moments to involve me. Earlier is better, but even a few days of focused testing can surface issues you'd rather not meet in production.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I'm based in Málaga, Spain, and work remotely with teams in other locations and time zones.
Do you do test automation?
My focus is manual and exploratory testing, where human judgment matters most. If you're considering automation, tell me about your product and we can talk about what fits.
