Allan Taveras

I'm a QA Automation Engineer with 7+ years of experience across manual testing, automation frameworks, and CI/CD integration. I specialize in Playwright and TypeScript, and I've built test suites from scratch, including one that cut a full regression cycle from two weeks in a manual approach to 13 minutes automated. My background spans federal compliance projects and fast-moving Agile teams, giving me a solid foundation in everything from detailed test planning and API validation to cross-functional collaboration and shift-left quality practices.
