Senior Manual QA Consultant

Top Rated Plus on Upwork

Helping companies ship stable mobile and web products with confidence.

I help companies release products with confidence. My work focuses on manual QA for iOS, Android, and web applications, making sure features behave as expected, critical flows stay stable, and releases do not introduce avoidable issues.

I work closely with developers, product managers, and stakeholders so quality is built into the release process, not checked only at the end. My goal is simple: reduce production issues and support smooth, reliable product growth.

  • Manual QA for iOS, Android, and web applications
  • Regression testing, release validation, and critical user-flow coverage
  • Clear bug documentation that helps teams move faster on fixes

About

Quality should be built into the release process, not checked at the end.

I specialize in manual testing for mobile and web applications, with long-term experience supporting products through regression cycles, end-to-end validation, exploratory testing, functional testing, and release preparation. My focus is to make sure the product works as expected before it reaches users, especially in the areas that matter most to the business.

I work best with SaaS companies, growth-stage startups, and teams that need reliable ongoing QA support without building a large in-house QA function first. I bring a practical testing mindset, clear communication, and documentation that helps engineering teams understand risk, fix faster, and release with more confidence.

Achievements

Why clients trust me with release-critical QA work

Client Retention

94.6% hire-again rate

Clients do not come back because of a polished profile. They come back when the work is dependable, communication is clear, and releases feel safer with the same QA partner involved.

Production Experience

26,000+ hours across 90 jobs

That amount of hands-on QA work means repeated exposure to real product cycles, weekly releases, regressions, retesting, and the pressure that comes with shipping to live users.

Long-Term Credibility

Serving clients since 2013

More than a decade of continuous freelance work shows staying power, adaptability, and the ability to keep delivering across different products, teams, and QA processes.

Client Confidence

4.98 rating from 77 feedbacks

This points to more than technical testing ability. It shows consistency, professionalism, and a working style that clients trust over the long run.

Services

How I help product teams reduce release risk

Release Preparation

Full regression testing before launch, validation of critical user journeys, and clear release reporting so stakeholders know what is ready and what still needs attention.

Ongoing QA Support

Weekly or sprint-based testing cycles, structured test case maintenance, exploratory testing, and disciplined retesting after bug fixes.

Product-Focused Testing

Functional, usability, and edge-case testing that helps uncover logical gaps early and turns findings into bug reports the team can act on quickly.

How I Work

Detail-oriented but practical, focused on business impact instead of only defect counts, and comfortable collaborating with remote teams in active release cycles.

Case Studies

Selected QA work from long-term product engagements

Swift Medical Inc

Healthcare product QA

Maintained weekly release confidence over nearly a decade

Weekly release QA Jira to Azure DevOps Long-term healthcare product support

This role is one of the strongest pieces in my portfolio because it reflects sustained trust over time. I was responsible for validating weekly builds, catching regressions before release, and adapting quickly as the team's workflow evolved from Jira and TestRail to Azure DevOps. That experience strengthened both my QA discipline and my ability to stay effective through process and tooling changes.

  • Manual and regression testing for weekly updated builds
  • Defect tracking in Jira, later Azure DevOps
  • TestRail-based collaboration before process migration

Evolve Global Inc

Consumer mobile products

Supported weekly releases for podcast and sleep-habit apps

iOS and Android apps Weekly sprint releases Exploratory and regression QA

This work demonstrates current production relevance: weekly regression, exploratory testing, and direct collaboration with developers and stakeholders on apps where user experience matters.

  • Weekly sprint-end regression before release
  • Bug reporting, monitoring, and follow-through
  • Regression case development and maintenance

Showcase Workshop

Cross-platform coverage

Validated one product across iPhone, iPad, Android, Chrome, and Windows

Mobile and desktop coverage GitHub issue workflow Pre-release validation

This is the clearest example of the ability to think across ecosystems instead of testing a single isolated app build. It shows cross-platform consistency and GitHub-centered issue workflows.

  • Manual and regression testing across multiple platforms
  • Bug tracking and monitoring inside GitHub
  • Release-quality focus before builds reached users

Education & Communication

Strength in documentation is part of the QA value

Bachelor of Education in English Language Teaching

Sekolah Tinggi Bahasa Asing LIA Jakarta

That background is useful in QA because good testing is only half the job. The other half is writing bug reports, test cases, and release notes clearly enough that the team can act on them without guesswork.
