QA Automation Engineer | Manual QA discipline, automation mindset and AI motion
Based in Braga, Portugal, I help teams turn product risk into clear release signal: readable test scenarios, API validation, backend/data checks, bug investigation, evidence, reports and automation that actually supports delivery.
I started from manual testing, grew into automation, and keep the human side of QA close: a good test should explain the risk, show the evidence and help the team decide what to do next.
- Automation: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver, TypeScript, Java, Python
- API and data: Rest Assured, Postman, SQL, response validation, contract checks
- QA practice: Manual testing, BDD/Cucumber, regression, smoke, exploratory testing, Jira, Xray, Allure
- Creative edge: AI motion direction, original animation concepts and portfolio-ready visual polish
- Public rule: no employer code, no private endpoints, no customer data, no internal screenshots
Public-safe portfolio with automation case studies, manual test evidence, BDD examples, Rest Assured sample, privacy notes and a live GitHub Pages experience.
Small, focused repos that show the foundation behind the showcase:
- Playwright - public web automation practice and evidence notes.
- Manual-Test - manual test cases and bug report templates.
