Building quality into software development processes and products

Marosa

Software Quality Assurance Engineer

Sep 2023 - Present Vigo, Galicia, Spain

When I joined Marosa, there was no established QA process. I built the company's Quality Assurance framework from the ground up, integrating QA into the software development lifecycle with structured test plans, manual and automated testing, and developer support to ensure high software quality.

I implemented and optimized automation frameworks such as Cypress, Selenium, and Playwright, enabling efficient and reliable test execution. Additionally, I led the company-wide migration to Jira, designing a multi-project setup with dynamic workflows and advanced automations that increased team productivity by 30%.

Beyond traditional QA, I took on a key leadership role in front-end quality, ensuring a test-driven development approach and performing UI/UX testing to improve usability and user experience. I lead cross-functional projects and establish quality metrics that bridge the gap between development and quality, driving continuous improvement across teams.

HP SCDS

Software QA Engineer

Oct 2022 - Sep 2023 León, Castilla and Leon, Spain

As a Software QA Engineer at HP SCDS, I played a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of firmware for large-format printers. I implemented both manual and automated testing strategies, leveraging Python-based frameworks like Pytest and custom-built libraries to conduct low- and high-level automated testing.

Beyond standard QA processes, I developed in-house software tools to streamline and enhance QA review processes for non-technical teams, improving efficiency and collaboration across departments. My ability to adapt and innovate allowed me to bridge the gap between engineering and quality assurance, driving continuous improvements in software testing and development workflows.
