01.
I design frameworks from scratch.
I turn fully manual teams into QA operations with maintainable automation. I set the standards, templates and practices the rest of the team adopts.

what i do
02.
I wire automation into CI/CD.
GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Docker. I have taken test cycles from months to hours, shifting how teams see the strategic value of automation.
03.
I solve non-standard cases.
Adobe DataLayer, validating .NET DLLs before injection into physical components, banking AS400, GraphQL in production banking. Where there is no off-the-shelf recipe, I design the solution.
04.
I design and build websites.
Marketing sites, dashboards, and custom web software. Modern stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind. Editorial attention to type and space, accessibility and performance by default — this site is one of them.
// selected cases
Three projects where I built, not maintained.
Omni.Pro — Adobe Platform & DataLayer
2025–2026
// problem
A team of 5 QA supporting 15 developers. 100% manual, no standards, no framework. Test cycles that took months.
// action
Built the automation framework from scratch with Playwright. Set the standards and templates adopted by the whole team. Wired up a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and Docker. Designed a specialized framework for Adobe DataLayer — a case with no off-the-shelf solution.
// result
~1,500 automated tests. Test cycles from months → hours. Technical leadership for 2 colleagues.
Globant — Banking, aviation, casinos
2022–2025
// problem
Validating .NET DLLs before injection into physical production components (casinos). Payment systems and flight management with massive end-user bases.
// action
Wrote ~300 automated tests across payment systems, flight management and embedded components. Custom frameworks on top of RestAssured, adapted per client. Mentored junior QA.
// result
Critical bugs caught before release in high-impact commercial products. Reassigned twice to new projects for a build-over-maintain profile.
Tata Consultancy Services — Banking
2019–2020
// problem
Slow delivery times due to dependence on post-development testing. Heterogeneous stacks: web, desktop, REST API, AS400.
// action
Helped build an API orchestrator under TDD. We achieved testing in parallel with development.
// result
Significant acceleration of delivery times. Personal arc: started as a SENA apprentice and grew into a full-stack automator (web, desktop, REST API, AS400) in my first year.
// selected sites
A few sites I designed and built.
SIA Software
Administrative integration system. Inventory, user management, minutes, product tracking, and warehouse administration — all in a single dashboard. Full-stack role: Angular front-end, Express/Node API.

// about me
I started as a SENA apprentice in 2019. Today I build automation frameworks for multinationals in sectors where a production bug is expensive. What moves me is not running tests — it is designing the system that lets an entire team stop running them by hand. I also build websites when a project calls for it — this site, for instance. If you have a team with no framework, an unusual technical case, a manual-to-CI/CD migration, or a site that needs building, let's talk.
