Kevin Rios, QA Specialist

About

I am a proactive and multifunctional quality analyst with a strong background in manual testing (desktop and mobile) and leadership in QA departments. My journey spans from large consulting firms like Tata Consultancy Services and Globant to startups (Adistec and DTC Pages), collaborating with international clients and closely working with development teams. Adaptable to diverse needs, I've worked across industries such as financial services (Galicia Bank), multichannel video programming distributor (DirecTV), and e-commerce (Vetsource and Shopify clients), continually learning and growing. My approach centers on leading the entire QA process, from analyzing scopes and designs to creating documentation and templates for test plans, test cases, bug reports, progress reports, have an active participation in meetings, execution, bug reporting, bug follow-up and bug fixing, and final pre and post-deployment testing.
