Alejandro Curiel
I test the things other people build - and sometimes build them too.
I've broken more staging environments than I can count. That's the job. 10 years finding what engineers miss before 750K+ users find it first. Pearl Jam, Eric Church, Thomas Rhett, Brandi Carlile.
I also build client websites when that is what the project needs.
About Me
QA contracts and web development clients. The same person, two outputs.
I've spent 10 years breaking things so users don't have to. Mostly on mobile. I've tested platforms for Pearl Jam, Eric Church, Thomas Rhett, and Brandi Carlile - sometimes with 750K+ users at once. On the automation side, I write Playwright test suites, use Postman for API testing, and wire everything into CI/CD via GitHub Actions. I also do accessibility compliance, WCAG validation, and CMS cross-testing. I'm CPACC certified - meaning I've passed a formal exam on WCAG standards, not just run Lighthouse reports. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I'm used to environments where releases happen weekly and QA is the last gate before users see it. Available for remote contractor roles worldwide.
