What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote contract opportunities with US-based companies.

At Paystand, I build end-to-end API automation workflows with Postman and Cursor AI for fintech payment and treasury management features. I also author sprint QA plans and execute functional, regression, and exploratory testing across web and API layers.

At InternetBrands, I executed automated test cases using Selenium-based frameworks and collaborated with development and QA teams on testing web properties and product releases. I also maintained a centralized defect tracking spreadsheet to support team visibility and sprint planning.

Earlier, I worked as a Control Engineer at AutomationHR, upgrading PLC software for compatibility with newer systems and validating control panel designs. My mechatronics engineering background includes PLC programming and control systems, and I’m seeking remote contract opportunities with US-based companies.
