What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on QA/release role in an Agile team where I can lead automation, improve CI/CD pipelines, mentor testers, and ensure high-quality, timely releases.

I am a bilingual Systems and Telecommunications Engineer with extensive experience leading QA, test automation, and release processes across Agile teams. I have designed and maintained automated test suites using Playwright (TypeScript), managed Azure DevOps pipelines and deployments, and coordinated cross-functional developer and QA workflows to ensure timely, high-quality releases.

I have held progressive QA roles — from tester and QA analyst to QA Release Manager/Team Lead — delivering comprehensive test plans, regression coverage, and actionable defect reporting while working with tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, Playwright, BrowserStack, Postman and Jenkins. I am punctual, self-taught, team-oriented, and committed to continuous learning and improving product quality.
