Test strategy & planning
Defining what to test, how, and why — so the whole team knows where quality risk actually lives before a single test case is written.
Services
I work as an independent Senior QA Engineer, available for contract and consulting engagements with product teams — most often based in the United States — while working from Brazil. Here's where I can help.
Manual & exploratory testing
Hands-on testing that catches what automation and specs miss, especially early in a feature's life.
Test automation support
Working alongside your engineers to build and maintain automated coverage that the team actually keeps up with.
QA process consolidation
Bringing fragmented testing practices across squads into one process people understand and actually follow.
Team mentorship & coaching
Helping QA engineers and cross-functional teammates grow their own testing instincts, not just follow a checklist.
Stakeholder communication
Acting as the bridge between engineering, product, and business — translating quality risk into decisions.
Engagement models
A few common ways companies bring me in — happy to shape something that fits your situation.
Project-based contract
Scoped, time-boxed engagements for a specific release, migration, or QA audit.
Fractional QA lead
Ongoing part-time involvement, guiding QA strategy without a full-time hire.
Long-term retainer
Continuous QA partnership embedded in your regular sprint cycle.
Built for LATAM ↔ US collaboration
Based in Santos, Brazil, on GMT-3 — close enough to most US time zones for real overlap in the working day. I already contract internationally through my own consulting company, which keeps engagement straightforward for companies hiring outside their home country. Portuguese is my first language; I work comfortably in English.
