Hi, I am Lenka

I look at the product through the eyes of the person on the other side of the screen.
That's why I see problems before they happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why work with me?

    I understand the product from multiple angles: as a developer, tester, and user. That's how I find problems before they surface and help improve product quality as a whole.

  • What is your added value?

    I understand code as a developer and think like a tester. That's how I find problems earlier and help improve product quality as a whole.

  • How can you help me?

    I work with a modern stack: Playwright, Cypress, React, Next.js. But the approach matters more than the tools. I focus on real user behaviour and the quality of the product as a whole. Full overview in the Skills section.

  • How does collaboration work?

    I work on projects both short-term and long-term. If you're dealing with product quality or AI features, we can get started quickly and without unnecessary overhead. Get in touch.

  • Do you offer freelance collaboration?

    Primarily remote, in-person meetings as needed (e.g. sprint, kickoff).
