What I'm looking for

I seek a senior automation role where I can improve test reliability and efficiency, lead automation initiatives, work in Agile teams, and grow technical leadership in CI/CD and test architecture.

I am a Senior SDET and automation engineer with substantial experience designing, developing, and maintaining automated tests and CI/CD frameworks across web, API, and mobile platforms. I prioritize efficiency, reducing manual testing effort while improving test coverage and build reliability.

At Fabric Health I collaborated with developers to improve test coverage and transformed a suite of E2E tests, achieving a 40% runtime reduction. At Hostelworld I led a migration to Cucumber and Playwright, cutting runtimes by 25%, developed API test scenarios, led performance investigations, and drove device-farm selection POCs.

Earlier as a Full Stack Engineer at Altice Labs I built a test framework from the ground up, developed CI/CD pipelines, and contributed to client features across a broad tech stack. I hold a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Aveiro and remain deeply curious about AI/LLM and security topics.
