Software Development | Test Automation | QA

A little bit about me

Hey there!👋 I'm Salvador (aka Chava). For the last 14 years I have worked on improving software quality by defining QA and testing strategies, and developing automation frameworks for several industries and all kinds of applications.

I also enjoy very much the other side of the process, which is ideating and developing new applications. I have developed several applications where I get creative and technically challenged. I'm constantly looking to learn new technologies that can improve the development process and user experience of the applications.

This is my website where you can check my portfolio, contact information and links to other platforms.
