What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can lead risk-based QA strategy and build reliable Playwright/Python automation, collaborating with cross-functional Agile teams to improve release confidence through strong data validation.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering high-quality software across enterprise web and integrated systems. My strength is QA strategy—especially risk-based testing, data validation, and shift-left quality—backed by hands-on end-to-end, API, and integration testing.

Across roles at Globant, Precision QA, Softtek, and IDS, I’ve helped stabilize complex projects, reduce defects, and improve release confidence through close collaboration in Agile environments. I build automation frameworks with Playwright and Python (including POM + BDD/Gherkin), integrate test execution into Jenkins CI/CD, and validate frontend-backend and third-party consistency across critical workflows.
