About me

Photo of Ingrid

Hi, I'm Ingrid Gonçalves

I'm from Minas Gerais (the 🇧🇷 state renowned for producing the country's best ☕), so I'm always up for a good chat. I'm an outgoing person and genuinely passionate about test automation. My goal is to help teams deliver top-quality products and continuously improve the way we work together.

With over 9 years of experience in financial services, digital retail, B2B2C, artificial intelligence, logistics, and capital markets, I've worked on banking, WMS/ERP, factory systems, and internal applications including national and international projects.

Outside of work, I'm usually hanging out with my cats 🐱🐱, putting together a puzzle (I frame them and hang them in my office), or with Spotify playing in the background (there's always music on).
I love meeting new people, exchanging experiences, and exploring new places whenever I get the chance.

Oh, and I collect fridge magnets and small cachaça cups (around 30 of each at the moment and counting).
If you ever travel somewhere cool, you know what to bring me!
