What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to mentor others while working with cutting-edge technologies.

I am an Automation Engineer with over 9 years of experience in designing, developing, and maintaining robust automation frameworks. Currently, I work at Blank Factor, where I design and maintain test cases for client automation frameworks using Kotlin and Playwright. My expertise lies in Java and Selenium, and I have hands-on knowledge in Cypress, Playwright, and CI/CD automation pipelines using Jenkins. I have a proven track record of leading automation projects from architecture to execution, mentoring teams, and driving innovation in testing strategies.

Throughout my career, I have supported manual QA teams during regression cycles and test planning, ensuring quality and adherence to best practices. I have also worked as a freelance automation engineer for Intel, developing test cases for various internal products. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Systems Engineering from Universidad Nacional in Costa Rica, and I am fluent in both Spanish and English.
