Senior Test Engineer @ Netflix 🍿

Story Time 😊 • 2012: I moved to the US with big dreams and determination. 🇺🇸🇧🇷 • 2013: My journey began humbly as a janitor at Buffalo Wild Wings. It was a tough job, but it taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. 🍗 • 2015: I transitioned to a server role at The Cheesecake Factory, continuing to push myself and learn new skills. 🍰 • 2017: I joined Year Up and interned at Slack, where I gained invaluable skills and experiences that set me on the path to my future in tech. 📚 • 2018: I was converted to a manual QA position at Slack, marking a significant step in my career. 🪜 • 2019: I attended an automation meetup at the Netflix headquarters. Ever since that inspiring event, joining their engineering team became my goal. 💭 • 2021: I joined Airtable as a Senior Software Engineer, where I continued to grow and develop my expertise. 👨🏽💻 • 2023: I became the first and only Quality Engineer at Tango. There I learned so much and had the pleasure to work with some truly extraordinary people 🧡 • 2024: Today, I’m beyond ecstatic to share that I’ve accepted an offer to join Netflix as a Senior Test Engineer! 🍿 This journey has been nothing short of incredible. From scrubbing floors to stepping into a role at one of the most innovative companies in the world, it feels surreal. A heartfelt thank you to Preethi P Sitaraman and everyone involved in the interview process at Netflix. Your support and professionalism made this journey even more special. I’m bursting with excitement to start this new chapter at Netflix and can’t wait to take on all the exciting challenges ahead. Thank you all for being part of my journey. Here’s to new beginnings and making dreams come true! 🚀
