QA Automation Lead at Paradigma Digital, building Cypress test frameworks and performance harnesses for data platforms.
What I'm looking for
At Paradigma Digital, I architected and scaled a Cypress end-to-end framework covering hundreds of web component tests for a regulated trade-reporting platform, increasing regression confidence and test reliability.
I also engineered a Java and Cucumber BDD framework for Spark-based data applications, and built distributed performance-testing harnesses for Kafka microservices and Apache Spark applications.
To validate multi-gigabyte XML files, I developed Java stream-parsing utilities integrated into Karate. I also authored reusable Spark and Cloudera QA libraries adopted across engineering squads.
At Universitas XXI Soluciones y Tecnologías para la Universidad, I automated functional, performance, and accessibility testing and supported CI/CD pipelines. I’m especially interested in remote-first SDET and QA Automation Lead roles focused on automation strategy, framework design, performance testing, and delivery speed.
