Engineering quality, building trust, and delivering software people love to use.
Hi, I'm Carolina 👋 — Senior QA Engineer, Scrum Master, and forever quality nerd with 12+ years making sure products actually work before they reach real people.
I've tested just about everything: complex web platforms, mobile apps, streaming and payment systems, and even real-time multiplayer games. I love building automation, smoothing out chaos in fast-moving environments, and creating processes that help teams ship faster without drama and without surprises.
I don't believe quality is just about catching bugs. It's about setting teams up to build things we're proud of. I'm big on collaboration, clear communication, and making tech feel human, not complicated.
If you're building something ambitious, user-focused, and a little bit challenging, that's where I thrive. Let's make things work beautifully.
