André van Walstijn
@andrevanwalstijn
I improve complex software quality through testing, automation, and coordination.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered software testing, integration testing, and test automation for UWV, Schiphol, DUO, Rabobank Nederland, Belastingdienst, Logius, and Sociale Verzekeringsbank. My work spans government, financial services, and aviation environments.
At UWV, I support the modernisation of the Daily Wage module using ODM, reviewing test bases, creating test cases, executing functional acceptance tests, automating with SoapUI, and training new testers. Previously, I coordinated integration testing for UWV's modernised WW application process and helped build regression sets for ODM WW and MAWW.
At Schiphol, I helped implement planning software for bus operations and gate and stand planning, introducing regression testing and Playwright automation while supporting UAT and onboarding a new tester. At DUO, I contributed to modernised back-office systems, interface testing, and automation using Robot Framework, Selenium, Cucumber, and Java.
I bring a practical, analytical approach to test analysis, regression coverage, technical findings, and collaboration with development teams. My programming background in Java, C#, .NET, COBOL, and Visual Basic helps me investigate technical issues and improve quality in complex environments.
