Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGorka Garaicoechea is a Senior QA Engineer with over six years of experience designing and implementing QA standards and test infrastructures for web, mobile and API products, currently driving quality at IVPN. He has a strong background in security and privacy-focused testing from roles at ZenGuard and IVPN, and is practiced in building comprehensive test plans, automated scripts and detailed documentation (STP/STD/STR) while managing bug tracking in Jira. Earlier roles in localization and compliance testing for games and consumer platforms honed his ability to translate product requirements across languages and regions, and he often serves as the bridge between product owners, support teams and testers. Comfortable with both manual and automated toolchains (Postman, JUnit, Bamboo, HPQC) and Agile workflows, he combines technical rigor with clear client communication and process improvement. An unusual strength is his translator background, which gives him a sharper eye for UX and locale-sensitive defects that often escape purely technical test approaches.
