QA Architect at Tessi, building test strategies and automation platforms for electronic signatures and regulated document workflows.
What I'm looking for
At Tessi, I define test strategy and industrialize testing for digital trust and document dematerialization products, including electronic signatures, VerifID, and regulated healthcare applications. I treat quality as a design constraint: explicit, measurable, and governable before testing begins.
I designed and deployed more than 1,200 automated test cases with Cypress and Playwright, reaching 80% coverage on critical user journeys. I also led more than 150 test campaigns per quarter and used quality KPIs to steer testing.
At Wild Code School, 3I-School, and Confidentiel, I designed and delivered QA training, coached learners, and supervised projects. My work included hands-on instruction in manual testing, API testing, and automation.
I also build MCP tools for test case generation, API validation, performance, security, and accessibility testing. I hold ISTQB CTAL-TM and CTFL certifications, as well as PSM I and PSPO I.
