What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior test automation role where I can build and improve automation from scratch, strengthen framework architecture and QA best practices in agile teams, and support CI/CD pipelines using DevOps and cloud-enabled testing.

I’m a Senior Test Automation Engineer with over 6 years of experience designing test plans and creating automated and functional test cases across Web, Mobile, and API rest platforms. I’ve worked in agile methodology and delivered automation improvements through research on new tools and continuous optimization.

In my current role at Globant, I participate in building automation from scratch, help improve framework architecture, and implement the best QA practices. I also create and maintain test cases, support and maintain automation team pipelines, and contribute to a core team that approves or rejects pull requests.

I’ve strengthened production reliability by mounting a script to monitor web services in production and notify the corresponding areas when errors are found, executing from Jenkins. Previously, I implemented automation for android and IOS, supported new members on the framework, and performed POCs to prepare test environments using Docker.

I’ve delivered automation across sectors including banking, entertainment, and e-commerce, and I’ve also brought API-focused readiness—such as POCs to implement Vaults for API test environments. Beyond testing, I have knowledge of making pipelines and managing cloud services and infrastructure to keep quality work aligned with modern delivery.
