Senior QA Automation Engineer
About Me
I am a detail-oriented Senior QA Automation Engineer with over 7 years of experience in Software Quality Assurance. I specialize in architecting scalable test automation frameworks from scratch, primarily using Cypress with JavaScript and Playwright with TypeScript. Throughout my career, I have successfully driven Shift-Left testing methodologies and led SOC2 compliance initiatives to ensure the highest standards of security and quality.
I have a proven track record of increasing automated test coverage and optimizing regression cycles, significantly reducing execution times through parallel execution and API mocking strategies. My expertise extends to leveraging AI tools such as Cursor and Gemini to accelerate delivery cycles and enhance product reliability.
In my recent roles, I have managed large-scale automation projects, including over 500 Selenium and WebdriverIO tests for high-profile clients like Disney, ensuring near-perfect platform uptime. I am skilled in identifying defects early in the development lifecycle by collaborating closely with UI/UX teams and implementing robust testing strategies.
I am proficient in a wide range of automation tools, programming languages, and DevOps technologies, including Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, Azure DevOps, Docker, and SauceLabs. I am also experienced in managing compliance and security audits, achieving 100% pass rates in SOC2 Type II audits through automation.
I am passionate about continuous improvement and innovation in QA processes, always aiming to deliver top-tier product quality and reliability. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working with cross-functional teams to drive quality from the earliest stages of development.
I am fluent in English at an advanced level and currently based in Quito, Ecuador, where I continue to grow my expertise and contribute to cutting-edge software quality assurance projects.
