What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values quality assurance and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over a decade of experience in quality assurance and software testing, I have honed my skills in both manual and automated testing processes. Currently, I work as a QA Engineer at Pairpoint, where I lead the planning and development of test strategies across Scrum teams. My expertise in creating effective test plans and automated end-to-end tests using frameworks like Robot Framework and Playwright has significantly reduced manual effort and improved testing reliability.

Previously, I contributed to various projects at Talkdesk and Noesis, where I developed automated tests for microservices and web applications, ensuring high-quality deliverables. My background includes working with tools such as Jenkins for continuous integration and Kibana for monitoring, which have enhanced my ability to deliver robust testing solutions. I am passionate about mentoring and collaborating with development teams to implement best practices in testing and quality assurance.
