Illia K.
QA Engineer | Manual & API Testing | Web & Mobile Apps
Manual QA Engineer with hands-on experience testing web and mobile applications end-to-end — from requirements analysis to release sign-off. I design and execute test cases, run functional, regression, smoke, sanity, and exploratory testing, and document defects with clear reproduction steps so developers can fix them fast. Comfortable with API testing (Postman), SQL/DBeaver for backend verification, and Git/GitHub for version control. I also bring Scrum Master experience, so I understand how QA fits into the sprint, not just how to log a bug. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT I DO: Manual testing across web applications, mobile apps (iOS/Android), and APIs. Full QA cycle from test planning to release sign-off: Manual testing for new features and regression testing on every release Web testing across major browsers using Chrome DevTools Mobile app testing on Android and iOS Functional, regression, smoke, sanity, exploratory, and UI/UX testing API testing and response validation using Postman Backend and data integrity checks using SQL and DBeaver Bug reporting in Jira with clear reproduction steps, screenshots, and environment details Test documentation: test plans, test cases, checklists, test reports, and traceability matrices in TestRail Version control for test assets using Git/GitHub Requirements analysis and test coverage planning ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO I WORK WITH Best fit for: Startups and small teams that need a dedicated, detail-oriented manual QA engineer Web and mobile products preparing for a release or needing ongoing regression coverage Products where clear, reproducible bug reports save the dev team time ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW I WORK Week 1: I review your product, requirements, and existing documentation. I write test cases and a checklist covering the core flows and priority bug areas. Week 2 onward: structured manual testing in your sprint cadence. Daily bug reports in Jira with reproduction steps and screenshots. Regression testing after every release. API checks running alongside functional testing. I ask before assuming and flag risks early. I overlap with EU and US business hours and typically respond within a few hours during the working week. Send me your project details and I'll run a free audit of your current testing coverage and flag the top risk areas — no obligation.
