Lorena Rodriguez is a Senior QA Engineer with 15+ years in tech and nine years focused on quality, automation, and DevOps, currently driving QA at Canary Technologies. She blends hands-on full-stack development experience—contributing refactors to the widely used open-source Community Health Toolkit (CHT)—with a systems-level approach to CI/CD, observability, and resilient test architecture. At Medic she led QA strategy for a platform supporting 40,000+ health workers and 85M+ care activities, introducing visual regression testing and shifting teams from QA to Quality Assistance. Comfortable across languages and stacks from telecom billing systems to modern web frameworks, she has migrated test frameworks (Protractor → WebdriverIO) and built sustainable pipelines for long-term reliability. Known for mentoring distributed teams and presenting QA strategy internationally, Lorena pairs academic foundations in formal methods with pragmatic engineering that prevents regressions before they reach users.
