Gema López
@gemalpez
Computer and Network Engineer specializing in QA, test automation, and full-stack development.
What I'm looking for
I am a Computer and Network Engineer with broad experience in quality assurance, test automation, and full-stack development, working across web, mobile and API environments.
I design and maintain robust automated test suites (Playwright, Cypress, Detox, Selenium) and improve CI/CD reliability, having reduced pipeline failures by 60% through targeted improvements.
As a full-stack developer I've built scalable web solutions with Drupal, PHP, JavaScript (React, Vue), Python and Node.js, integrating third-party APIs and implementing backend business logic.
I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Data Science to deepen my Python, data modeling and analytical database skills, and I bring strong collaboration, mentoring and Agile experience to cross-functional teams.
