Hi, I’m Carlos Quiroz. I’m a detail-oriented QA Engineer with extensive experience in web application testing. I blend strong manual and automated testing to validate complex user workflows, search and filtering functionality, and cross-browser/mobile compatibility across modern web platforms. I have hands-on experience designing and maintaining automated regression tests using Selenium-based frameworks and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous quality assurance. I enjoy collaborating with distributed development and product teams, documenting test cases and defects with precision, and proactively identifying risks early in the lifecycle to improve delivery speed and product reliability. I’ve built and maintained automation frameworks across Python, Java, and C# services, deployed Kubernetes-based test environments, validated data in MS SQL, and created tooling to enhance observability and debugging for testers and developers alike.

January 1, 2025 - October 1, 2025
Developed and maintained a cross-language test automation framework for REST APIs and WebSocket client validation across Python, Java, and C# services in an enterprise environment. Created detailed Test Plans and Test Strategies, guided the testing of client libraries, and performed manual validation using Postman to ensure functionality, security, and performance prior to release. Built modular and reusable components—libraries, utilities, plugins, and test cases—to support REST API and WebSocket testing and accelerated regression cycles. Logged, tracked, and verified bug reports in JIRA, collaborating with developers to reproduce issues and validate fixes. Provided knowledge transfer to enable teammates to use the framework for creating REST API and WebSocket tests.
Software Engineer in Test at Canon Medical Informatics Incorporated
January 1, 2020 - November 1, 2024
Automated frontend and backend tests, developed Selenium-based frontend libraries and automated scenarios to improve quality under tight deadlines. Deployed a production Kubernetes (K8s) cluster to host the test environment and configured SQL servers (MS SQL) in VMs and Docker containers to support production data needs. Created end-to-end test resources and long-term solutions for testability within Kubernetes, including a K8s troubleshooting tool to help testers recover from VPN losses. Validated patient medical data in MS SQL Server to ensure data accuracy and integrity in a regulated setting. Logged and reported defects, produced clear test reports, and collaborated with product and development teams to verify fixes and ensure release readiness.
