I'm Brennan Ceballos Peña, a QA Automation Engineer and developer, currently seeking a new opportunity. I'm a hardworking, adaptable team player who thrives in fast-paced environments and consistently meets deadlines. I'm self-taught in programming languages including PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript – Node.js, React and VueJS, Python, C#, C++, and Rust, and have broadened these skills through hands-on work at Autodesk, Barracuda Networks and Exizent. I enjoy exploring new technologies for end-to-end testing (for example Cypress and Charles during my Autodesk tenure) and have built tools such as a Python-based test reporting dashboard at Barracuda. I keep my work organized with structured code, Git, Obsidian for notes, and Jira/Trello for task management.
