About Me!
Hi, I am Sara!
I started my career in 2014 as a Software Validation Engineer for Communication
products. During five years I improved my testing skills by working on projects in
Telecommunication, Geolocation, Big Data and Power Electronics.
In 2019, I started to focus all this quality knowledge on testing Cybersecurity Software
products, and then magic just happened. I discovered a whole new world that
fascinated me.
Since then, I have been working to improve all my Software and Quality skills including
Cybersecurity at every step I take.
