I'm a 100% bilingual Full Stack and Automation Engineer with over 20 years of experience working with US-based companies. I've done mostly Web Development, REST APIs, QA lead, Test Automation and DevOps-related tasks, like deployment and provisioning automation.
Regarding Web Development, I specialize in Wordpress, PHP and Java, and I have thorough experience integration with 3rd party APIs, like payment gateways and social media sites. I also focus on the client project as a whole thing, and not only as a development project, so I will suggest and encourage usage of web analytics, cloud based solutions and anything I can do to help your business succeed.
Regarding QA and Test Automation, I have experience as QA Manager, handling teams of QA Engineers, and I have successfully implemented test automation frameworks for ECommerce and SaaS applications. These frameworks were based on Selenium WebDriver, using Java, TestNG and Maven. In addition to this, I have implemented internal Selenium Grids, using virtual machines and Docker containers, that supported up to 60 concurrent tests, executed by a Jenkins job. This enabled a suite of almost 300 regression tests to run in under 15 minutes, enabling the development team to run full regressions on the sites multiple times per day.
I'm more than happy to offer you my services, so I'm always willing to be contacted for an interview. I'll be thrilled to be a part of your projects!
