About
With over 15 years of rich experience in the tech industry and a deep-rooted passion for automation engineering, I'm Christine, a Berlin-based professional transitioning back to the forefront of tech and AI. My journey has spanned roles from customer support to system engineering and leadership positions in various environments, including startups, medium-sized businesses, and government sectors. However, the role I resonate with the most is being an automation engineer.
As a freelancer enjoying the flexibility of remote work, I've explored over 50 countries, embracing new cultures and integrating these experiences into my professional ethos. My commitment to environmentalism, love for technology, and enthusiasm for AI shape my unique approach to tech solutions, aiming for sustainable and innovative outcomes.
An ISTQB-certified agile testing expert, my expertise lies in navigating the intricate dance between evolving digital landscapes and foundational tech principles. I am excited to delve deeper into AI's potential to revolutionize automation engineering, bringing efficiency and precision to new heights.
Join me as I embark on this journey of discovery and innovation in tech and automation engineering. Let's connect, share insights, and explore the endless possibilities that technology and AI have to offer.
