I build scalable automated testing for reliable financial and web platforms.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I'm building and maintaining automated API and integration test suites for iLab's ANBIMA project, delivered in partnership with the Central Bank of Brazil. I use Java, Spring Test, and Rest Assured to support reliable financial data processes.
I bring Shift-Left testing, BDD, and Gherkin into the SDLC, working with developers early to reduce ambiguity and catch defects sooner. I also track quality metrics and create Allure reports that improve release predictability.
Previously, I automated web, API, mobile, and performance testing at DBC Company using Selenium, Cypress, Appium, JMeter, Rest Assured, and JUnit. I contributed to GitLab CI/CD pipelines and managed test traceability through Jira, Confluence, and Zephyr Scale.
I've also developed Jest-based integration tests for a rental platform's GraphQL queries and mutations against Node.js APIs. I'm focused on maintainable automation frameworks that make continuous delivery more dependable.
