@juanortega1
I build confidence in web, mobile, and API releases through hands-on QA leadership and end-to-end testing.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered QA leadership at TEAM International across fintech, healthcare, IoT, e-commerce, payments, SaaS, and web and mobile products. I build test plans, regression suites, and reports that surface critical issues early and help teams release with confidence.
My work spans frontend, backend, REST and SOAP APIs, React Native, and native and hybrid Android and iOS applications. I cover functional, non-functional, integration, regression, exploratory, API, UAT, UI/UX, cross-browser, and cross-device testing throughout the SDLC.
As a QA Lead, I've coordinated cross-functional testing, mentored QA engineers, managed release cycles, and worked directly with clients, stakeholders, product teams, developers, and DevOps. I bring a Shift-Left mindset and embed quality into delivery rather than leaving testing until the finish line.
Before software QA, I led mobile-device testing, repair, technical support, and after-sales teams across Colombia and Latin America. My electronics and telecommunications background helps me validate connected devices and software products with practical technical depth.
