Telefonica Digital

Start a CDN platform, leading a QA team of five SDET. Mainly focus on web services integration. To achieve quick regression tests I designed a test framework in Python offering fast development of BDD tests performed on RedHat servers.

Contributed in an internal RFP, evaluating performance of 3 commercial CDNs, applying advanced skills in network diagnostics. Currently Movistar TV is built on top of it.

I also contributed in other R&D projects, in charge of test automation, experience in advanced web acceleration, iOS/Android mobile apps and cloud platform.
