Phil DiGiacomo
@phildigiacomo
Manual QA Engineer focused on UI/UX, bug hunting, and release readiness.
What I'm looking for
I am a Manual QA Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience testing web and mobile applications within Agile environments, supported by over 35 years of customer-facing and operational experience. I specialize in UI/UX validation, functional accuracy, and ensuring release readiness across pre- and post-deployment phases.
I execute comprehensive manual test cycles across development, staging, and production environments, perform cross-browser and cross-device validation, and conduct active bug hunting to uncover edge cases and visual regressions. I use tools including Chrome DevTools, BrowserStack, Jira, Zephyr, and SQL Server Management Studio to validate front-end behavior and backend data.
I communicate QA outcomes clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, present end-of-sprint findings during sprint showcases, and partner cross-functionally to support release sign-off and quality accountability. My background in high-pressure, customer-facing roles has reinforced discipline, attention to detail, and a QA-oriented mindset.
I am seeking fully remote opportunities with long-term international flexibility and am prepared to work from Grenada or other global locations under W2, 1099, or international contractor arrangements.
