## Roles

### Automation Engineer Intern - Agora

Period: April 2026 - July 2026
Organisation: Real estate investment management platform. Co-op placement.

Moved a production test suite off the UI layer and onto the API layer, which made it faster to run, far less brittle, and cheap enough to maintain.

- Migrated existing UI-level test coverage to API-level tests in a production codebase
- Improved suite reliability, execution speed and maintainability as a result
- Backed the automation work with manual QA where coverage gaps remained

### QA Tester Intern - Mindli

Manual QA on an AI product, which is where I learned to hunt for the failure modes that only appear once a model is in the loop.
