Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Render is a Software Development Engineer in Test based in the New York City area with four years of hands-on experience building .NET automation frameworks and end-to-end test suites using NUnit, Selenium, and Playwright. He has led automation efforts through the full Agile lifecycle, designed company-wide frameworks that produced multi-hundred-percent performance gains, and integrated CI/CD-driven test execution into PR workflows. An active open-source contributor, Michael has improved core .NET projects like Roslyn and NUnit—adding language analysis support and strengthening test coverage—which reflects a deep familiarity with compiler internals and test engineering. He pairs practical backend refactors (including AOT-focused .NET optimizations) with security-minded testing such as SSO/SAML validation, and mentors junior engineers while shaping automation strategy.
