The record

What the record shows

Facts rather than self-scored figures. Every line is something an employer, a certificate or the software itself can confirm — and where the check can be made on this site, the last column links straight to it.

How the work runs

A quality pipeline, not a checklist

Quality is designed in from the start rather than inspected at the end. Each stage feeds the next, and every stage produces evidence.

  1. 01

    Plan

    Map risk before writing a single case. Highest-risk paths get the deepest coverage.

  2. 02

    Design

    Build test cases that read clearly, cover the edges, and survive refactors.

  3. 03

    Execute

    Run manual, automated and API suites — Selenium, Appium and Postman — across environments.

  4. 04

    Report

    Turn results into decisions: what shipped, what is blocked, and what the risk actually is.

  5. 05

    Ship

    Release with confidence, then watch production to confirm the call was right.

Availability

Open to senior QA roles

If a team needs someone who can make release risk visible and act on it, that is the conversation to have.
