What I'm looking for

I seek roles focusing on automation and integration testing within collaborative, cross-functional teams that value quality, learning, and impactful delivery.

I am an ISTQB Foundation Level certified test engineer with a background in Economic Engineering and a Master's in Energy Management and Systems Technology. I have experience across automotive, marine, mobile, web and enterprise projects, delivering manual and automated testing, data analysis, and integrations.

I have implemented end-to-end testing and ERP integrations, developed automation frameworks with Python and Java-based tools, and worked with REST/SOAP APIs, SQL databases, and cloud services like AWS. I contribute to requirement analysis, UAT, CI/CD pipelines and maintain clear documentation and stakeholder communication.

I am proactive, quick to learn new technologies, and focused on delivering high-quality, reliable software. My achievements include successful AI-powered AP Automation testing, HiL/SiL test automation for automotive systems, and data-driven improvements in operational reporting and dashboards.
