About Yassine

With 7+ years of experience in software quality assurance, I bring a strong technical foundation as a former mobile developer (Java, Swift, C#), paired with a proven track record in leading QA initiatives across agile environments. I help engineering teams build and ship reliable, scalable software through robust QA strategy, automation, and team leadership.

I started my QA career at Stellantis, where I transitioned from development and quickly rose to Team Leader, accelerating automation and optimizing test processes. At Cdiscount, I operated as the sole QA in a cross-functional Agile squad, driving quality ownership across the team and ensuring fast, clean releases. Most recently at Richemont, I took on strategic responsibilities as a Test Lead, and then QA Manager, where I’m currently building a new QA team from scratch while maintaining high testing standards across all projects.

🔧 What I bring to the table:

Strong experience in both manual and automated testing

Deep understanding of the software development lifecycle

Ability to lead and scale QA teams and processes

Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments with cross-functional teams

Excellent communication and stakeholder collaboration skills

🚀 Typical Deliverables & Focus Areas:

Test strategy and planning across web and mobile platforms

Automation frameworks and CI/CD pipeline integration

Team building, mentoring, and QA onboarding

Cross-team collaboration to enforce quality at every stage

Regression suites, exploratory testing, performance validation

    QA / Test Leader / QA Manager
    December 2022 - Today (3 years and 6 months)
    I joined Richemont as a QA Engineer, where I was responsible for ensuring the quality of web and backend systems used across the group's luxury brands. Over time, I took on more leadership responsibilities, progressing to QA Team Leader and ultimately to QA Manager.

    As a QA Engineer, I designed and executed test plans, performed both manual and automated testing, and worked closely with developers and product teams to deliver high-quality features in an Agile environment.

    Promoted to QA Team Leader, I began coordinating testing efforts across multiple squads, mentoring junior QAs, and driving improvements in test coverage and process efficiency.

    As QA Manager, I took ownership of the overall QA vision, leading the effort to build a new QA team from scratch—including recruitment, onboarding, and team structuring.

    Defined and implemented QA strategy across projects, ensuring alignment with business priorities and technical constraints.

    Introduced scalable automation frameworks and enhanced collaboration between QA, DevOps, and development teams.

    Acted as a key stakeholder in Agile ceremonies, release planning, and cross-functional quality alignment.

    This experience sharpened my ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on testing, lead cross-functional teams, and embed a culture of quality in high-stakes environments.

  • Cdiscount Remote
    QA Automation Engineer
    December 2021 - November 2022 (11 months)
    At Cdiscount, I worked as the sole QA engineer embedded in a fast-paced Agile team, taking full ownership of quality throughout the development lifecycle for a major e-commerce platform.

    Defined and executed test strategies for new features and regression cycles, balancing manual and automated approaches based on project needs.

    Built and maintained automated test scripts to ensure quick feedback and stable CI/CD pipelines.

    Collaborated closely with developers, product owners, and UX designers to shift testing left, detect issues early, and deliver high-quality features at speed.

    Advocated for a quality-first mindset within the team, integrating QA into all stages of the Agile process—from grooming and planning to demos and retrospectives.

    Took initiative in identifying test gaps, proposing improvements to workflows, and maintaining high standards for test coverage and reliability.

    Supported backend API and front-end testing, using tools and frameworks tailored to the team’s stack.

    This role strengthened my ability to work autonomously, embed QA into product development, and deliver solid value in high-velocity, customer-facing environments.

  • STELLANTIS
    Test and validation
    February 2019 - October 2021 (2 years and 8 months)
    At Stellantis, I began my QA journey as a test engineer before being promoted to Team Leader, where I managed a team of 6 testers and played a central role in test automation, planning, and process optimization for embedded automotive systems.

    Led a team of 6 QA engineers, overseeing daily activities, task planning, progress monitoring, and providing both technical and strategic support.

    Managed and executed automated and manual test campaigns, including smoke, non-regression, and acceptance testing, for new software releases.

    Analyzed technical specifications to design, write, and maintain detailed test plans aligned with project goals and system requirements.

    Developed and maintained Excel macros to automate the drafting and consolidation of test plans, execution reports, and KPIs tracking.

    Ensured the reliability of testing processes by establishing, documenting, and continuously improving QA standards and methodologies.

    Used tools like TestStand, Excel Macros, and Canalyzer to drive efficient testing across software modules and electronic control systems.

    Regularly delivered progress reports and quality metrics to stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment with delivery timelines.

    This role laid the foundation for my leadership in QA, combining technical execution with team coordination and process ownership in a high-reliability industry.
