I oversee QA processes and roadmaps, effectively managing testing and automation backlogs. I'm actively involved in manual testing and the development of API automation for two distinct products, ensuring seamless integration and efficiency. Additionally, I supervise front-end automation, ensuring alignment with project objectives and quality standards.In my role, I actively engage in alignments with customers, fostering transparent communication and understanding of project requirements. I also play a pivotal role in decision-making processes regarding the quality team's actions, ensuring alignment with project goals and stakeholders' expectations.

I spearheaded efforts on a legacy project where automation coverage was limited to the front-end, encompassing only 20% of End-to-End scenarios. Leveraging Cypress, I drove a significant increase to 85% front-end coverage, meticulously crafting exception scenarios and implementing robust logic to ensure maximum flow resilience, encompassing crucial user journeys and UI tests. Moreover, we enhanced our coverage by extending tests to include API and back-end validations.In addition to my technical contributions, I actively engaged in project demonstrations during meetings, ensuring transparency and alignment with stakeholders. I also played a pivotal role in facilitating client meetings, where we discussed project progress, addressed concerns, and aligned on future deliverables.

I worked extensively with manual and automated mobile testing (Android and iOS). In automation, I standardized Page Objects, enabling another automation team to create a framework template used in subsequent projects. Additionally, I handled maintenance and code corrections, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of our testing processes.Moreover, we were able to map inconsistencies in response time of an application through mobile automation charts and data, which resulted in user dropouts. Identifying and resolving this bug significantly increased accesses the following weekend, thereby significantly improving the product's performance.Also, I actively participated in agile rituals and alignments of the QA roadmap, ensuring assertiveness with project goals and milestones.

I wrote test cases in Gherkin language and structured testing by using the Shift Left approach, which enabled early identification and documentation of failures. I performed API tests, mapped test coverage, actively participated in alignments with the product team, and contributed to building the QA team's documentation.

In my first internship, I optimized a legacy project with over 1,000 regression test cases by identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and coverage. I reduced the testing scope by nearly 50% by eliminating redundancy, repetition, and outdated test cases while maintaining comprehensive end-to-end coverage. Additionally, I standardized test scripts using the Gherkin language, facilitating their integration into an automation framework, which was a new capability for the project. As a result, we achieved significant reductions in the test cycle duration, enhancing our focus on application quality and improving internal processes. Additionally, I contributed to QA documentation, actively participated in agile rituals and team alignments, and played a key role in the production enviroment deploy by executing smoke tests.

Being a cook and a chef gave me skills that I still bring to my current profession. Leading and being led under so much pressure requires a lot of balance and interpersonal skills. Furthermore, the demands are high and attention to detail is one of the main pillars of a cook.I led teams of 16 cooks, I was responsible for the production and delivery of an entire menu. I went through several houses, I had a company.After many years of dedication, I decided it was time to move to a new career that would bring different challenges. That's when I migrated to technology and started a new journey.
