About

As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with a strong foundation in end-to-end software design, I specialize in building robust testing frameworks that ensure the reliability of mission-critical systems. Currently at Siemens, I work on complex, high-stakes infrastructure like Positive Train Control and ETCS systems, ensuring seamless communication and flawless system performance. I bring a developer's mindset to quality assurance. Whether I'm writing comprehensive unit tests, performing complex black-box testing, or working with concurrency patterns, my goal is to break things intelligently so they can be built back stronger. I thrive in Agile environments, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to integrate testing seamlessly into the CI/CD pipeline. Core Competencies: Languages: C++, Python, Golang, JavaScript, Java Testing & Frameworks: TDD, Selenium, VectorCast, Custom In-house Frameworks Infrastructure & Tools: Docker, AWS, Kafka, Linux, GitLab, Jenkins I am always eager to tackle new challenges in system design and automation, optimizing workflows, and delivering highly scalable, fault-tolerant software.
