Maurizio Scrimaglia

QA Engineer Manager @ ProntoPro | Armut | HomeRun

I lead teams, kill bugs, and automate the boring stuff

About Me

Hey there! I’m Mauri, a QA Engineering Manager passionate about building smart processes and high-performing teams. I don’t just test software. I design quality into the product from the very beginning.

I thrive in fast-paced environments ⚡ where chaos needs structure. Over the years, I’ve led cross-functional QA efforts in growing tech departments, turning bugs 🐞 into learning opportunities and manual routines into automation pipelines. My philosophy is simple: quality should be baked in, not bolted on.

I believe that better processes create better teams - and ultimately, better products!

Recently, I’ve been exploring low-code and no-code platforms to accelerate development without sacrificing reliability. For me, empowering teams to move faster and smarter is just as exciting as finding the perfect edge case.

Outside of QA, you’ll find me optimizing workflows, mentoring teammates, or chasing down the next elegant automation idea 🚀. And yes, I still enjoy breaking things, but only to rebuild them better.
