Episode description
Boy oh boy, I could not stress enough how special this guest is. In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Federico Toledo, the co-founder, and CEO of Abstracta, AKA the QA Doctor.
Federico is from Uruguay and shares how his upbringing in a close-knit community near the capital city played a pivotal role in his growth. He emphasizes the value of Uruguay's free university education, which allowed him to study computer science, paving the way for his future endeavors.
Federico also traces the origins of Abstracta, a company he co-founded with colleagues, initially focused on test automation. They faced early challenges as pioneers in the field, having to evangelize software testing and quality culture in the industry which eventually led to the establishment of a strong brand known for its expertise in quality and a range of services related to software testing, automation, accessibility, performance, and security. His passion for sharing knowledge is evident through his book and podcast building a personal brand and contributing to the growth of the testing community in Latin America.
Come and let's travel all the way to Uruguay for another great episode of The First Customer!
