Mechatronics Engineer | QA and test automation | Python
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At Rayment & Collins, I write test procedures and QA checklists, run acceptance and release testing, and document results. I tested a client-facing AI system and recommended holding deployment over critical defects.
At MashxLabz, I design, build, and deploy web applications with cloud back ends and automated test suites. I independently rebuild calculation tools in Python to verify outputs before release, and build AI features that can run local models when data is sensitive.
My engineering and CAD experience includes designing HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems in AutoCAD at Global Consulting & HVAC. I also built an autonomous package retrieval robot with OpenCV navigation and PID control, designing its hardware in SolidWorks.
