What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote role as a QA Automation Engineer or QA Lead where I can work with tools like Java, JavaScript, Cypress, and Rest Assured. I value agile teams, clear communication, and a culture of quality. I'm motivated to improve processes, mentor others, and help deliver reliable, high-performing products.

My name is Alisson Fogaça, and I’m a QA Engineer currently based in Madrid, Spain. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a postgraduate degree in Web Application Technologies, and a degree in Computer Education. With over 13 years of experience in software testing, I’ve specialized in both manual and automated testing for REST APIs and web/desktop applications, working across sectors such as iGaming, finance, accounting, and real estate.

I have strong expertise in backend test automation using Java, Spring, REST Assured, and Cucumber, as well as frontend automation with JavaScript, Cypress, and Cucumber. I'm also familiar with agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban and have hands-on experience with tools such as Jira, Zephyr, Jenkins, Git, AWS, Kafka, Elastic, and Couchbase. Additionally, I have a background in web development using PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and MySQL.

Beyond testing, I’ve worked as a QA Lead and IT instructor, which helped strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I’m a proactive and detail-oriented professional who values collaboration and continuous improvement. I’m always eager to take on new challenges that drive innovation and personal growth.
