Roxana Valdina
I am a lifelong learner and software professional who enjoys solving complex problems, exploring new technologies, and understanding how reliable products are built. Since beginning my career in technology, I have grown from a software development bootcamp graduate into a Lead Quality Assurance Engineer, working closely with Product and Engineering across the full software development lifecycle.
My experience in quality assurance has strengthened my ability to analyze requirements, identify risks, investigate issues, and understand software from both the customer and technical perspectives. It has also deepened my interest in coding, automation, artificial intelligence, and software engineering. I am continuing to build on that foundation through hands-on learning and personal projects, with the goal of creating thoughtful, dependable solutions that make a meaningful impact in people's lives.
