What I'm looking for
I've delivered manual and automated quality assurance for web, mobile, API, and AI-based applications across EXL, Quipux S.A., Genesis Innovations, GwocuStudio, and government projects. I build regression suites with Katalon Studio, Playwright, and Selenium while covering functional, integration, API, accessibility, and end-to-end testing.
I've improved release quality through CI/CD testing, SQL data validation, defect management, and close collaboration with developers and business analysts. I also use Generative AI and LLMs to accelerate automation, test cases, API validation, documentation, debugging, and test-data work.
