Mauro Gabriel Pedano

Served as the company's sole QA professional, first on doTERRA and then owning quality for Tapestry after the client project ended.

• Promoted shared quality practices through recurring reviews with Tapestry team representatives before joining the product.

doTERRA - Client project

NestJS and Next.js wellness platform using connected health data to inform recommendations for products, healthy habits, and exercise.

• Coordinated the development team, acted as the client liaison, and translated requirements into functional tasks within technical constraints.
• Built a Playwright end-to-end test automation framework and integrated it into GitLab CI/CD to run after deployments to lower environments.
• Built a configurable k6 framework measuring request latency, payload metrics, and p50, p90, and p99 percentiles, extending an existing JMeter process assessed through database-record counts.
• Owned manual production deployments over SSH to the client's on-premises servers, coordinating release tasks with other teams.

Tapestry - Internal product

Datumsure platform integrating databases from multiple sources and providing users with AI-powered data analysis.

• Defined the quality strategy and negotiated feature scope with the product lead.
• Built a BehaveX and Python automation framework, expanding validation beyond sprint demos of feature happy paths to less common scenarios.
• Introduced Gherkin so managers could understand test coverage and interpret passing and failing results.
• Co-designed a system with DevOps to deploy test environments, execute tests, and expose service status, basic metrics, and logs without requiring access to the AWS console.
• Containerized testing frameworks, persisted reports in volumes, and removed runners after execution to optimize resource usage.
• Built a Locust performance testing framework to assess how new features affected application performance.
• Validated client-data access policies and helped define improvements to policy storage and enforcement, including redaction of restricted data before exposure to a large language model (LLM).

• Built a Cypress and Cucumber framework, selected scenarios for automation, and integrated execution into Jenkins after deployments.
• Containerized test execution with Docker for consistent local environments.
• Mentored automation engineers and manual QA staff in functional programming and maintainable automation practices.
• Introduced performance testing with k6 and identified several critical performance defects.
• Designed continuous and visual testing solutions and used Cypress to capture workflows for k6 scripts.

• Managed QA planning and defect tracking while remaining hands-on with functional and automated testing.
• Established a Cypress automation repository and maintained local Docker test environments.

• Automated test cases using Java, Serenity, Selenium WebDriver, and SQL.
• Performed functional frontend testing and API testing with Postman and JMeter.

• Developed and maintained automated tests using Java, TestNG, Selenium WebDriver, and SQL for Application Control and EDR.
• Tested cross-platform integrations and manual scenarios against acceptance criteria.
• Trained developers and QA staff in automation and mentored an intern through their progression to a full-time SDET role.

• Performed functional and cross-platform integration testing and automated scenarios using Robot Framework, Python, Selenium WebDriver, and SQL.

• Performed functional and cross-platform integration testing and automated scenarios using Java, JBehave, Selenium WebDriver, Mountebank, and REST Assured.
