Welcome. At this site, you can get information about the my portfolio and areas of research.

Software quality

Since 2013, I have been working in software quality, performing end-to-end functional test automation and manual testing in web technologies. I am familiar with Selenium Webdriver (DotNet, Python, Java), Playwright (TS/JS), Appium, and performance testing. On 2024 I obtained the ISTQB CTFL 4.0 certification. Please take a look at my automation portfolio on https://github.com/juanfonsecasolis-automation.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

I have also specialized in the analysis of one-dimensional signals, particularly audio. My master thesis was about recognizing the sound of accessible pedestrian signals (APS), an idea started by Mario Monge and Sharon Bejarano in 2013. I also like analysing other type of signals, like economical indicators and server response times. Please take a look at my Jupyter notebooks and publications for content related to DSP.
