Available to hire
Hi, I’m Ricardo Afonso Murcia, a Senior QA Automation Engineer with over six years of experience delivering robust automated testing solutions for web applications across multiple domains. I focus on code quality, test reliability, and long-term maintainability, and I enjoy collaborating in Agile teams and continuously improving our testing strategies. I’m proficient with modern automation tools, CI/CD pipelines, and designing scalable frameworks.
In my recent roles, I have worked on projects for Disney Parks and DirecTV Chatbot with Globant, migrating frameworks to Playwright, building UI and API tests, and integrating CI pipelines to accelerate feedback and reduce flaky tests. I’m motivated by solving quality problems early and delivering stable software that users love.
