Lucas Tadeu Farias de Avila

Delivered several high-impact initiatives within the talent screening domain, enhancing the conversion rate and optimizing the screening process for the freelancing platform. I led a fully remote, high-performing team of eight engineers (back-end, front-end, and QA). I focused on fostering their professional growth through regular feedback, goal setting, and ongoing performance assessments.

In addition to team leadership, I managed internal stakeholder relationships, ensuring clear communication and effectively aligning expectations. I also tracked and analyzed key performance metrics, such as cycle time, velocity, capacity per cycle/project, and team OKRs, to drive efficiency and continuous improvement.

As a senior QA engineer, I played a key role in developing a new iOS and Android mobile application for the largest airline company in Latin America. I oversaw mobile manual and automated testing efforts, utilizing native frameworks like Espresso for Android and hybrid tools like Appium for cross-platform testing. I also monitored the app release closely, gathered metrics, and collected user feedback, ensuring continuous improvements in each release iteration.

Built and maintained an end-to-end test automation suite from the ground up, leveraging the WebdriverIO testing framework (JavaScript), Jest, Jasmine, and a PostgreSQL database. Additionally, I integrated the suite into the client's CI pipeline using Jenkins. As part of this initiative, I mentored and coached four new QA engineers, enabling them to contribute effectively to the development and maintenance of the automation suite.
