I have created and executed comprehensive test plans for games, backend services, and eCommerce functionality, all with adherence to strict accessibility standards. I have worked extensively with Android, iOS, and Windows devices, on many individual hardware platforms as well as software applications. I am fluent in Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish.

I have demonstrated proficiency in production and project management within the Scrum framework, including bug management in Jira and workspace curation in Confluence. With hands-on qualifications in industry-standard programs like Postman, Denuvo, and Slack, I enhance productivity and foster cross-team synergy. I am dedicated to delivering exceptional results and driving the success of software development projects.
