About me

From test strategy to quality engineering.

I am a Software Development Engineer in Test working across the full software development lifecycle, designing, building and maintaining automated test frameworks for web, API and mobile applications. I work with Java, Python and JavaScript, covering functional, regression, integration, exploratory and performance testing.

My quality engineering practice brings together test strategy, BDD and continuous integration pipelines, with traceability between requirements and automated tests. An MBA in Data Engineering from UFRJ extends this to data-driven validation with SQL and Python on platforms such as Databricks and Apache Spark.

I collaborate with cross-functional, distributed teams in Agile environments, aligning business, development and QA around a shared understanding of quality.

  1. End-to-end quality

    Functional, regression, integration, exploratory and performance testing throughout the software lifecycle.

  2. Scalable automation

    Web, API and mobile test frameworks with Java, Python and JavaScript, integrated into CI/CD pipelines.

  3. Data-driven perspective

    MBA in Data Engineering from UFRJ and data validation with SQL and Python.

  4. Cross-functional collaboration

    Agile, distributed teamwork, using BDD as a shared language for business, development and QA.

Expertise
