Senior Manual QA | SaaS, Web, & E-commerce| UAT & Release Testing

AI can generate software. It can't replace real users trying to use it. In a world of vibe coding and AI-assisted development, I provide hands-on QA from the perspective of the people on the other side of the screen - your customers and users. I’m a Senior Manual QA / QA Lead with 5+ years of experience testing complex, multi-role products with permissions, business logic, payments, refunds, dashboards, and user-facing workflows. I focus not only on whether a feature works, but whether the whole workflow makes sense to the person using it. I don't limit testing to predefined test cases. I actively explore business logic, role and permission boundaries, cross-user workflows, edge cases, inconsistent states, and data integrity to identify issues that can affect real users or business processes. 🔍 QA APPROACH • User roles & permissions validation • Multi-user workflows & state synchronization • Business logic & configuration-driven platforms • Pre-release regression testing • Cross-browser / cross-platform testing • API testing (Postman) • SQL data validation 📋 QA DELIVERABLES • Clear bug reports with reproduction steps and impact description • Expected vs actual behavior • Severity prioritization (Critical / High / Medium / Low) • Screenshots or short recordings • Concise release risk summary 🛠QA workflows & tools: JIRA, ClickUp, TestRail, Postman, Chrome DevTools, BrowserStack 💼 EXPERIENCE • 5+ years of QA experience across SaaS, Marketplace & E-commerce products • Complex multi-role and permission-based systems • Web, Desktop & Mobile applications • SaaS, CRM, CMS, marketplace & E-commerce platforms • Complex role-based systems • Sprint planning, backlog organization & release readiness support • XML / JSON-driven configuration logic I work independently, ask the right questions when requirements are unclear, and provide documentation that both developers and business stakeholders can rely on. Fluent English • Strong analytical mindset • Detail-oriented Available for pre-release QA, regression cycles, bug hunts, and launch readiness reviews.
