I am a product-oriented Software QA Automation Engineer with 8 years of experience in Automation, Manual, and API Testing. I specialize in Web, Mobile, and Client-Server applications and thrive on turning manual testing into scalable automation. On my last project, I led the move to automation by building a framework that automated the vast majority of test cases, implemented a CI/CD pipeline, and improved productivity while reducing costs. I’m passionate about delivering high-quality software and continuously learning new tools to optimize quality and speed. Colleagues of mine would describe me as someone who is deeply invested in the product, eager to learn, and committed to best practices. I enjoy mentoring teammates, championing QA standards, and collaborating across teams to drive reliable releases. I believe in data-driven testing, clear documentation, and aligning testing efforts with business goals to maximize impact.
