Looking for a remote role with senior engineers who value mentorship and knowledge sharing. I enjoy working on products across different industries — every domain makes me a sharper tester. Long-term, I'm growing toward an SDET path, deepening my engineering skills and owning more of the quality architecture.

QA Engineer who believes quality goes beyond tools. As AI makes code cheaper, I make sure what ships actually works.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I'm a QA Automation Engineer with 4+ years of experience who has always believed that quality goes far beyond tools and frameworks. Throughout my career, I've invested heavily in understanding software development lifecycle, processes, and what it truly means to build reliable systems — bringing solid quality standards and meaningful metrics to every analysis and process improvement I'm part of.
In an era where AI has made writing code cheaper than ever, quality has become the real differentiator. Shipping fast means nothing if what you ship breaks trust.
On the technical side, I'm versatile across the stack: front-end automation with Cypress, Playwright and Selenium, API testing, mobile testing, and CI/CD integration. I've built frameworks from scratch, rescued projects with near-zero test coverage, and worked across web, mobile, and API layers in agile, fast-paced environments.
I'm currently looking for remote opportunities companies where I can contribute to high-quality products and keep growing as an engineer.
