About

Professional summary

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer and SDET with more than six years of experience building and executing quality engineering strategies for web, backend, mobile, microservices, and distributed-system environments.

I combine a Mechatronics Engineering background with Full-Stack Development training, which helps me understand software architecture, implementation details, and business-critical reliability from end to end.

I specialize in designing scalable test automation frameworks using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, RestAssured, Appium, and API testing tools. I have expanded automated coverage, accelerated regression cycles, and integrated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines.

I am experienced in functional, integration, system, end-to-end, regression, performance, security, accessibility, and cross-browser testing. My non-functional testing work includes JMeter performance campaigns, OWASP Top 10 validation, RBAC and session-flow testing, and WCAG 2.1 compliance.

I work effectively in Agile/Scrum teams, collaborating with developers, product owners, and international stakeholders to improve quality metrics, reduce defect leakage, and support successful user acceptance testing.

I am a native Spanish speaker with advanced C1 English proficiency and professional experience working with global cross-functional teams.
