Welcome to QA Orca

We help startups and lean teams ship reliable, bug-free software through expert QA and thoughtful automation.

Why QA Orca?

We believe software should earn trust — not just look good or run fast.

QA Orca exists to help teams ship work they’re proud of: reliable, thoughtful, and tested with care. We’re driven by a simple belief: quality assurance isn't about checking boxes — it’s about building confidence in every release.

The orca is a symbol of intelligence, adaptability, and teamwork — all traits we bring to quality assurance. Just as orcas coordinate with precision in the wild, we embed with your team to test smarter, hunt bugs effectively, and ensure nothing critical slips through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're curious about process, pricing, or platforms — here are a few quick answers to questions clients often ask before getting started.

What platforms do you test on?

Web (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), iOS/Android mobile apps, and even Smart TV apps. I tailor test coverage based on your stack and target users.

Can you help with test automation?

Yes! I can write or maintain automation frameworks using Selenium, Playwright, or Pytest — or help you decide if automation is worth the investment for your product stage.

How do you report bugs?

I use your preferred tools — Jira, Notion, Trello, or GitHub. I include detailed steps, expected vs actual behavior, and visuals (screenshots or video) for every issue.

Can you join standups or async check-ins?

Absolutely. I’m used to working in Agile and async environments. I can participate in Slack, Loom updates, or video calls depending on your preference.
