Experienced QA Engineer with a passion for delivering high-quality software.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
With over 14 years of experience in manual testing across various sectors, including financial, e-commerce, and telecom, I have honed my skills in test case design, API validation, and log analysis. My journey has allowed me to lead complex QA initiatives, collaborating with major global partners throughout the software development lifecycle. I pride myself on my detail-oriented approach and strong communication skills, which enable me to deliver high-quality software consistently.
In my most recent role as a QA Engineer at Pangea Money Transfer, I led testing efforts for the replacement of termination partners, ensuring that all QA phases were executed flawlessly. My experience includes designing and executing end-to-end manual test cases across web, Android, and iOS platforms, validating backend data, and monitoring job execution. I have also managed test plans and tracked defects using tools like TestRail and Jira, always striving to align releases with business goals.
Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse environments, from leading a team of QA testers at Persistent Systems to focusing on e-commerce quality assurance at Scalable Press. My technical proficiency with tools such as Postman, Datadog, and Rapid7, combined with my commitment to quality, positions me as a valuable asset to any organization looking to enhance their software quality assurance processes.
