Who I am

Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience integrating quality assurance throughout the SDLC. At Questrade — one of Canada's largest online brokerages — I lead the quality strategy for KYC, OAA onboarding, and client lifecycle across two regulated business contexts, supported by 1,300+ automated tests (Cypress E2E/Component, Playwright API, Postman/Newman) across E2E, component, API, mobile, and performance layers.

Awarded Exceeding Performance (2024) for technical leadership in KYC/OAA and for a framework that reduced time per component by 86% (7s vs 52s E2E); implemented OAuth2/PKCE in Playwright tests.

I adopted generative AI in my daily workflow (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini, Postbot) — ~75% faster test delivery. I hold C1 Advanced English (EF SET 62/100), am based in Recife, and work fully remote. Available for Senior/Principal QA roles.
