I’m a passionate Software Engineer who have been working with software development since 2003 and who, everyday, have more certainty that this is where I want to contribute and what I really want to do. I love testing and test automation as much as I love fixing bugs by myself, cross-role collaboration, good technical practices (vide XP) and getting things out of the door.
