Summary
Valentinno Cruz is a software engineer focused on quality and automation, combining eight years of cross-industry QA and operations experience with a BS in Computer Science & Engineering from UC Merced. At Canon USA he architects and implements end-to-end test frameworks—spanning API, UI, performance, and CI/CD pipelines—cutting manual setup time by 80% and improving release confidence. His background ranges from leading large QA teams and SQL-driven analytics at Microsoft to streamlining warehouse logistics and macros-driven automation in manufacturing, showing a pragmatic blend of data-driven process improvement and software engineering. He is fluent with tools like Playwright, Postman/Newman, JMeter, GitHub Actions, Docker and Python, and has a track record of turning manual flows into reliable automated systems. Beyond core QA, he explores front- and back-end development plus XR simulation, reflecting a curious tinkerer who builds practical prototypes as side projects. Based in Moreno Valley, CA, he seeks collaborative opportunities that bridge automation, API reliability, and product-focused engineering.
