I’m an ISTQB-certified QA Automation Engineer building scalable Playwright and API testing frameworks.
What I'm looking for
I’m an ISTQB® Certified Tester (CTFL) and QA Automation Engineer focused on designing and scaling test automation frameworks for frontend, backend, and API-driven systems. I aim to turn QA into an engineering capability that improves regression coverage, traceability, and defect prevention across critical workflows.
At Globant, I co-led the strategy for building reusable automation patterns with Playwright and TypeScript, and I helped establish scalable GitLab CI pipelines. I also modernized QA by co-developing a Robot Framework (Python) workspace and migrating legacy Postman validations into automated regression suites—delivering 500+ test scenarios with scheduled execution, traceability, and real-time reporting via ReportPortal.
To make testing smarter and faster, I integrated an AI-augmented QA workflow connecting Jira through MCPs and Amazon Q (Claude Sonnet), enabling automated generation of test cases, tickets, and QA assets from user stories. Alongside this, I identified and tracked 50+ high-impact defects to reduce production risk in media engineering pipelines.
Before that, I contributed to web and API automation (including 150+ tests) for Sportian – La Liga using Selenium (Java) and Postman, with BDD-based workflows in Jira/Xray. My development background in Ruby on Rails, React, Spring Boot, and React Native—along with deployments using Docker, GitLab, and databases—helps me collaborate effectively with engineering teams and build solutions that fit real delivery practices.
