Senior QA Engineer at Asaia Apron AI, preventing 80+ critical bugs with a robust regression testing strategy.

At Asaia Apron AI, I lead QA for microservices-based, high-load web applications. I design and execute test plans for enterprise-level systems, introduce shift-left practices, and conduct exploratory, regression, and integration testing.

I developed a regression testing strategy that prevented the release of 80+ critical bugs, and identified 5+ security vulnerabilities through exploratory testing and manual log analysis. I’ve also mentored team members and acted as interim Team Lead.
