Hi, I’m Gonzalo Araoz, a QA Engineer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with 4+ years of experience in manual and automated software testing, specializing in JavaScript (Playwright, Jest, Supertest). I’m skilled in end-to-end manual testing, regression, sanity, and smoke testing, as well as building and maintaining regression and sanity test suites. I have hands-on experience designing test plans, test cases, and defect reports, and implementing automated regression, smoke, functional, and end-to-end testing frameworks that accelerate delivery and reduce production issues. My background spans API testing (Postman, Swagger), performance testing (JMeter), and mobile testing on both real devices and emulators. In Agile/Scrum environments, I collaborate with developers and product managers to integrate testing early, ensuring faster feedback cycles and higher-quality releases. By optimizing test coverage and automation, I’ve reduced regression cycles by 60% and improved release quality by 40%.
