Freelance Senior QA, specializing in test automation, software quality, and complex system validation.
I assist my clients in the continuous improvement of their software quality through test automation (API / UI), test strategy, test case design and writing, traceability, defect management, and quality reporting.
Thanks to my experience on critical projects (space, defense, aeronautics), I also master complex system environments, system validation (IVV), and integration, with an approach focused on deliverables, traceability, risk reduction, and milestone adherence.
