Message

At Nucoro, I test web systems and APIs for a wealth management business, automating frontend tests with Playwright and backend tests with Karate DSL. I also perform API performance testing with K6 and develop QA tooling in Node.js.

At Yalochat, I planned, defined strategies for, and executed manual, automation, and performance testing in a cloud microservice environment on GCP. My work included API testing with Postman and Karate, frontend automation, and performance testing with K6 and JMeter.

Across projects at Globant and earlier roles, I tested web, API, mobile, and IoT hardware systems, as well as backend performance. I’ve also worked on QA tooling and testing practices, including performance testing for a core banking system and consultancy on Centres of Excellence based on HP Software tools.
