Areas of Interest

I am interested in technical roles, such as 100% Automation QA or QA Technical Lead areas (Automation Architect).

My current specific areas of interest are: AI developments (Frontend with Cypress/JS or Playwright/TS and Backend Automation).


My main motivation is client satisfaction and quality delivery. When you work with me, you will get 100% satisfaction guaranteed in my work and my process.

About Me

QA Automation with more than a decade of hands-on experience in software development.
System Engineer, certified in ISTQB (Foundation Level), and have passed the IELTS exam (International English Language Testing System).

Accumulated a wealth of experience related to QA tasks (Manual, Hybrid & Automation).
As an Automation QA, I had the chance to work with Web-based applications and Mobile apps (Responsive and Native). For most projects, I have used Jira, Git, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Playwright, Cypress and JavaScript (or Selenium and Java), but I do have experience in some other programming languages as well (like TypeScript, Ruby, Node.js, Python, etc).

Worked for companies like Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Renault and Nissan, among others.
I am also experienced in Agile Methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban, which enhance my ability to adapt quickly and collaborate effectively. Some of my professional skills include Teamwork, Proactivity, and Leadership.
