Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After more than 6 years as an employee of IT consulting firms, I decided to become a Freelancer and get as close as possible to my clients.

During my numerous experiences in testing, I have acquired expertise in software quality and particularly in test automation.

In my latest assignments, I have automated numerous regression tests to validate the proper functioning of websites, mobile applications, and APIs with each code evolution or modification. I also focused on test parallelization to minimize test execution time, allowing for quicker reactions in case of bugs.

To achieve this, I primarily relied on Selenium and Appium to design automated tests for both web and mobile.

I can share my know-how with you to implement and maintain a test automation platform.

I called on Gauthier for the functional acceptance of 2 projects. Gauthier was very flexible with working days and hours (the time difference with France required us to organize accordingly). He quickly grasped the subjects and was available for briefings and discussions with the UX and IT teams. The tickets created were relevant, clear, and detailed enough for developers to reproduce and fix. All deadlines were met. I would not hesitate to call on Gauthier again for future assignments. Thank you Gauthier!
