Curious by nature, I build robust software and push it to the limit to make it more secure. I enjoy creating reliable, well-crafted things that work as well on the inside as they do on the outside.
Hi! I'm Bruno, a developer and QA Automation Engineer based in Panama. My journey in technology began with cybersecurity: studying it gave me a much deeper awareness of its importance, and I started applying those principles in my daily life. Later, in my first job as a QA Engineer, I had my first real exposure to programming, and I haven't stopped since.
I move between full-stack development and test automation, and I feel a true passion for cybersecurity. I like building things, but also breaking them to understand how to make them more secure and robust.
Outside of code, I love outdoor walks, learning languages, and diving into geography, cultures, and history. I'm fascinated by aviation and the idea of traveling the world: connecting with people from other countries and visiting in person the places where the events that shaped the course of nations took place. I consider myself very open and willing to give my all, always looking to grow in a team where I can add value and keep learning. I'm super friendly and easygoing. I always seek to build bridges with the people around me and treat everyone with respect and dignity.
Diagnosed and resolved complex technical incidents, account discrepancies and service changes through real-time data and systems auditing. De-escalated high-pressure critical situations, and identified and reported suspicious activity and fraud under strict corporate security protocols. Onboarded key users and triaged high-complexity incidents for accurate escalation to engineering, exceeding KPIs and SLAs with enterprise ticketing and monitoring tools.
Designed and maintained E2E automated test suites with Selenium WebDriver (Java) under the Page Object Model, cutting regression time by 40%. Validated REST integrations with Postman and REST Assured, applied BDD with Cucumber, and integrated functional and security testing (SAST with SonarQube) into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Travis CI). Ran the test infrastructure on AWS (EC2-based Selenium Grid for parallel execution, S3 for artifacts) and managed the defect lifecycle in Jira under Agile/Scrum with GitHub/Bitbucket.
The tools I've used in the professional and personal spheres.
A complete portfolio of my current projects, where I combine development, automation, and security.
An automated QA suite for the Shipping Hub platform — Karate API tests, Cucumber/Gherkin BDD journeys and Selenium UI E2E using the Serenity Screenplay pattern (Actors performing Tasks), plus a Postman/Newman collection. It runs in CI, which stands up the API, web app and a headless browser, with Serenity living documentation and a SonarQube quality gate.
A UPS/FedEx-style parcel shipping & tracking platform with a reactive, SEO-optimized bilingual interface. Distributed backend: a transactional Node.js/Express API — JWT auth, a shipment state machine and a wallet backed by a double-entry ledger — on PostgreSQL, plus stateless Python/FastAPI microservices for pricing and PDF labels. Deployed live as a single container on Railway.
