What I'm looking for

I seek a remote QA role where I can strengthen automation skills, contribute to robust test processes, mentor peers, and work in Agile teams with clear growth opportunities.

I am an ISTQB-certified QA Analyst with over nine years of experience testing web, mobile, desktop, and backend systems for U.S. and Latin American clients. I specialize in manual testing, API validation, test case design, defect tracking, and improving test processes within Agile and Kanban teams.

My career highlights include leading QA efforts at Gorilla Logic for multiple U.S. clients, improving API test coverage at Globant, and mentoring junior QA engineers. I have hands-on experience with tools such as Jira, TestRail, Postman, ReadyAPI, AccelQ, and databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and DynamoDB.

I am passionate about continuous learning and expanding automation skills in Selenium, Playwright, and Cypress while contributing strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and collaborative problem-solving to deliver stable, production-ready software.
