Finding what breaks before users do

QA Engineer with 2.5 years of hands-on experience across agency and freelance environments — including managing QA on 13–15 concurrent client projects and 30+ freelance engagements end-to-end.

Handled manual testing of web projects on WordPress/WooCommerce: writing test cases, filing structured bug reports, running regression cycles, and coordinating fixes between developers, designers, and clients. Worked across a range of bug-tracking and reporting tools depending on client setup — Asana, Notion, Jam — and built a custom Chrome extension integrated into an agency's internal CRM (Notion) when existing tools didn't fit the workflow.

Ran load testing (Locust) on a high-traffic e-commerce project and identified the root cause of performance issues at the CDN-caching layer. Investigated and documented security incidents on WordPress environments, including a SEO-spam compromise and IDOR vulnerabilities on staging/production e-commerce sites.

Comfortable adapting to whatever QA process and tooling a team already has in place — and building it myself when it's missing.

Why I'm a fit for
Halo Lab specifically

Mapped directly against the requirements in your listing.

  • 2.5 years commercial QA experience

    Exceeds the 6+ months bar in the listing — agency and freelance, web-focused.

  • Reads HTML/CSS and Dev Tools fluently

    Comfortable diagnosing what's actually wrong without needing to be the developer.

  • Figma vs. live build, regularly

    Ran a full QA audit cross-checking a live build against Figma specs — flagging typography/spacing mismatches and missing links.

  • English-language bug reports as standard

    Structured reports and test documentation are the default deliverable, not an extra.

  • Severity-first prioritization

    Classifying and prioritizing bugs by severity is a core part of the workflow, not an afterthought.

  • Already building AI into QA

    Built a Chrome extension with an AI-assist mode that auto-generates bug titles, summaries, and severity classification from a raw description — the exact instinct ("find new approaches to automation via AI") the role asks for.

  • Git, prompt engineering, automation tooling

    Comfortable with Git, prompt engineering fundamentals, and automation platforms (Make.com, n8n).

  • Built this page with Claude Code

    As requested in the listing — practicing what's preached.

QA work, in detail

Four representative engagements — collapse any card to skim the list.

Ran a full-site QA pass across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints (up to 2560px/4K). Identified and documented 25+ issues spanning critical checkout flow, core commerce logic, and content gaps — each logged with severity, page URL, reproduction steps, and screenshots.

  • Cross-browser
  • Responsive QA
  • Checkout flow
  • Severity classification

Audited a service-business website end-to-end, surfacing functional bugs alongside content/UX gaps and a mobile-UX improvement recommendation. Delivered structured, severity-classified bug reports for developer handoff.

  • Functional testing
  • Content audit
  • Mobile UX
  • Developer handoff

Cross-checked a live build against Figma design specs, flagging typography/spacing mismatches, missing navigation links, a broken redirect, and semantic-HTML gaps. Each finding documented with page URL, screenshot, and expected-vs-actual behavior.

  • Figma comparison
  • Typography & spacing
  • Semantic HTML
  • Expected vs. actual

Built a Chrome extension for filing bug/QA reports directly into Notion without leaving the browser. Drag-select to capture a screenshot, annotate it, fill in a form — or use AI-assist to auto-generate title, summary, and severity from a raw description. Auto-selects the correct Notion database based on the active site.

  • Chrome extension
  • Notion API
  • AI-assisted triage
  • Screenshot annotation
