What I'm looking for

I seek remote-only roles (Europe or Canada) focused on test automation, CI/CD integration, and improving release reliability through automation and cross-functional collaboration.

I am an automation engineer with 9+ years of experience across ERP, financial services, industrial IoT, and distributed platforms.

I build and maintain UI, API, and microservices automation using C#, TypeScript, Cypress, Selenium, ReadyAPI, and Postman, and I integrate backend validations with SQL into CI/CD pipelines.

My work has improved release confidence and reduced defects and manual regression effort through reusable libraries, CI quality gates, and targeted performance testing.

I collaborate with distributed and cross-functional teams, leverage AI-assisted tooling for maintainability, and seek remote-only integrated roles in Europe or Canada.
