BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I’m a QA Engineer with 6+ years of experience in manual and automated testing for web applications and digital products. I bring a strong focus on exploratory testing, test design, defect investigation, and quality assurance throughout the SDLC and STLC.
At Thrive, I designed, maintained, and expanded a Playwright automation framework using JavaScript/TypeScript. I executed 220+ automated end-to-end tests, created regression suites and risk-aware coverage, and reduced manual regression effort by 50% by integrating automation into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines.
I’m hands-on with validating complex user workflows in Agile environments, analyzing requirements to identify risks and edge cases. I also perform database validation using SQL queries and ensure API-to-database consistency to improve release readiness.
For production reliability, I investigate complex issues using Elastic, Datadog, and Sentry to drive root cause analysis and collaborate on resolutions with developers. I also leverage AI-assisted testing tools like ChatGPT and Claude to generate test scenarios, improve coverage, and accelerate automation development.
