Itecor is a leading Geneva-based consultancy, widely recognised for its expertise in software testing. Within this context, I deliver multiple engagements for banking and governmental clients, acting as senior SDET to steer testing strategy end-to-end—from initial feasibility and framework selection through to full CI/CD integration across diverse toolchains.

• Lead QA engagements for banking and public-sector clients, ensuring compliance and resilience of mission-critical systems.

• Define and deploy end-to-end UI and API test strategies from scratch.

• Conduct feasibility studies, select, and integrate frameworks (Playwright, Robot Framework, Selenium) tailored to each client context.

• Design and package shared Python test libraries (requests-kerberos, API utilities) to standardise and accelerate automation.

• Industrialise CI/CD on GitLab and Azure DevOps with parallelisation, caching, and automated quality gates.

• Fully containerise test environments with Docker and enable scalable execution on Kubernetes.

• Provision cloud-based test infrastructure via Terraform and orchestrate with Ansible.
