Descripción

I am a Senior Software Tester (Manual) with over 15 years of professional experience in Quality Assurance, working mainly on complex, business-critical systems in banking, public sector and regulated environments.

My core expertise is hands-on manual testing, where I contribute directly to product quality by validating functional requirements, business rules, data integrity and end-to-end workflows. I have extensive experience executing functional, integration and regression tests, as well as supporting User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and stakeholder validation.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with developers, product owners and business teams, helping to identify defects early, reduce production issues and ensure that delivered solutions meet real user and business needs. I am particularly comfortable working in Agile environments (Scrum / Kanban) and integrating into remote, distributed teams.

My background also includes experience as a Test Manager, which adds value to my work as a tester: I naturally apply a risk-based testing approach, understand delivery constraints, and focus testing efforts on areas with the highest business impact. However, my current focus is on hands-on testing work, not management roles.

What I typically help clients with:

- Manual functional, integration and regression testing

- Test case design, execution and maintenance

- Requirements analysis and validation

- User Acceptance Testing (UAT) support

- Bug identification, reporting and verification

- API and integration testing (Postman / SoapUI)

- Collaboration within Agile remote teams

I am available for remote freelance or contract engagements, part-time or full-time, and I adapt quickly to new projects, domains and teams. My goal is to help clients deliver reliable, high-quality software by bringing a pragmatic, detail-oriented and business-focused testing approach.
