What I'm looking for

I seek a QA role where I can expand automation and API testing, embed shift-left practices, work with CI/CD teams, and grow in security-aware quality engineering.

I am an ISTQB-certified QA professional with a detail-oriented and analytical mindset, passionate about delivering high-quality software. I design and execute backend API test scenarios, create and maintain test plans, manual test cases, and automation scripts, and collaborate closely with developers to align QA efforts with CI/CD practices.

At CEiiA I contribute to QA metrics, quality reporting, and the selection/evaluation of test management tools to improve visibility and traceability; I also write and track issues in Jira and advocate shift-left testing and process improvements. Previously, I managed security and quality operations across multiple sites, conducting compliance audits, documenting incidents with evidence, tracking non-conformities, and maintaining data integrity in digital records.

I am completing a degree in Informatics Engineering and have formal cybersecurity training, which complements my testing skillset and enables me to approach quality with a security-first perspective. I seek roles where I can apply robust testing practices, improve test automation, and help embed quality earlier in the development lifecycle.
