I am an experienced QA professional with a robust background in performance testing, automation, and team management. I earned my B.S. in Business Administration with a focus on Management from California Polytechnic State University – San Luis Obispo, though the degree was not conferred. Over the years, I have undergone extensive training, including Oracle Masters Curriculum, Sun Microsystems System Administration, and certifications in AppDynamics and Dynatrace. My professional journey spans several prestigious institutions, including Notified, Flexiti, Proseguer, and Metsi, where I have held roles such as Lead Performance Test Engineer, Senior QA Analyst, and Performance Analyst. In these roles, I have led performance testing initiatives, managed QA teams, and driven digital transformations using various technologies like JMeter, LoadRunner, Selenium, and AppDynamics. My experience is further enriched by my tenure as a Team Leader at ESP Global Services and various consulting roles where I managed QA functions across diverse industries and geographical locations. I have a proven track record of implementing automated testing frameworks, conducting comprehensive manual and automated testing, and ensuring seamless project delivery through Agile and SCRUM methodologies. My technical skills encompass a wide range of tools and technologies, including LoadRunner, JMeter, Jira, Postman, Azure, AWS, and Oracle/SQL, among others. Proficient in English and advanced in Spanish, I am well-equipped to handle complex, cross-functional projects in dynamic environments.Tech Stack
