Senior QA and automation engineer who builds reliable test pipelines with Scrum, ITIL, and data-driven automation.
VenezuelaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a “QA Tester Sr” and automation-focused engineer who combines test engineering, ETL/data work, and project delivery. I bring “amplia experiencia” in “Gestión de la Calidad e Innovación” plus process automation across multiple business areas.
In my current role at Coderland - Izertis, I deliver “Automatización de Aplicaciones y Procesos de Testing” and build libraries and applications with Java, Python, Groovy, Oracle/PLSQL, and Shell Script. I use Selenium, Appium, ReadyAPI, Postman, SOAPUI, and BDD with Gherkin/Cucumber/Behave, and I support quality execution with JUnit, Pytest, and TestNG alongside Jira/Xray.
Previously at Zed Panama (2015–2021), I worked as a “Consultor Senior Oracle / Desarrollador Java J2EE,” combining Oracle + PL/SQL development with Jenkins-based workflows and ReactJS/PHP. Earlier, as a “Team Leader / Project Manager” at IBM, I led project and resource management and handled Incident/Problem/Change Management, including “Coordinador global SAP” for GM Andina.
I align delivery with Scrum Master and ITIL principles, focusing on process improvement and measurable outcomes (KPIs, reengineering). My certifications include Scrum Master and PMP fundamentals, plus ISO 9000 facilitator and DBA/programming training across SAP Basis/ABAP, Oracle, and Progress OpenEdge.
