Christine Pinto
Automation Engineer
I've spent the last decade deeply involved in creating and deploying systems for a variety of organizations, from nimble startups to large-scale public and private sector companies. My career has spanned roles as diverse as application support specialist, developer, systems engineer, and team lead, but it's in the realm of Automation Engineering where I've truly thrived. With over ten years dedicated to this specialty, I've also become an active voice in the QA community, sharing knowledge through articles and talks worldwide. Now, I'm embracing a new challenge: transitioning into AI. This move is a natural progression, blending my automation expertise with the exciting possibilities AI offers, and I'm eager to explore how this combination can further enrich our industry.
