About

With over a decade year of experience in the design and verification of safety-critical embedded systems, I specialize in delivering high-integrity solutions for the Aerospace and Transportation sectors. My career is defined by a commitment to "zero-failure" engineering and a passion for modernizing traditional V&V lifecycles through Agentic AI. Strategic Leadership & Global Collaboration: In my current role, I lead from the front, managing and leading high-performing teams and collaborating with international partners across Spain, France, and Germany. I excel at navigating cross-cultural technical discussions, scope planning, and delivering complex signaling and avionics products to global standards. AI Innovation in Testing: I am actively redefining the testing landscape by architecting AI Agents and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems to transform core activities: Strategy & Specs: Automating the extraction of actionable test plans from complex requirement documents (DOORS, Interface Specs). Agentic Scripting: Utilizing AI workflows to generate robust C++ test scripts from natural language. Regression & RCA: Deploying RAG pipelines to accelerate change impact analysis and automated root cause analysis. Core Expertise: Systems Engineering: Expert in Hardware-Software Integration Testing (HSIT), SW-SW Integration Testing, System and Subsystem Testing, requirement-based analysis, and rigorous peer reviews. Global Project Delivery: Significant on-site experience in the UK (Manchester) leading integration and validation for the London Underground (4LM project). Cross-Functional Impact: Active member of internal innovation groups dedicated to process improvement and toolchain optimization. Technical Toolkit: Languages: C++, Python, C, VBA. Tools: DOORS, JIRA, CM Synergy, GIT, Visual Studio, Jupyter Notebook, and specialized simulation rigs. I am passionate about the synergy between human expertise and AI to drive excellence in safety-critical engineering.
