ABOUT ME
My professional background combines software development and quality engineering. This combination allows me to understand test automation not only as the creation of test scripts, but as the development of software that must remain readable, scalable and reliable over time.
My main professional automation experience is based on Cypress and JavaScript. I have also expanded my technical work through projects with Playwright, TypeScript, Python, Node.js, reporting tools, API validation and browser automation.
I am especially interested in the intersection between QA Automation, software engineering, artificial intelligence and process automation. I continuously study new technologies and apply what I learn through practical projects.
I am currently looking for remote opportunities where I can contribute as a QA Automation Engineer, SDET or automation-focused software professional.
