ABOUT

Breaking Things to Build Them Better

Software Test Engineer with 8+ years in embedded systems and safety-critical applications. I design test strategies, build automation frameworks, and drive quality across the full development lifecycle โ€” from SiL/HiL validation to production release.

Beyond testing, I'm passionate about technical training and mentorship. I've helped onboard and upskill 100+ engineers through workshops, competency programs, and hands-on coaching โ€” because great teams are built on shared knowledge and a culture of quality.
