## What I'm looking for

```text
A senior individual-contributor role building Windows desktop software in C#, .NET and WPF, including desktop UI test automation, ideally in industrial automation, medical devices or instrumentation. Also open to Forward Deployed and Solutions Engineer roles. Remote within India, or on-site/hybrid in Bangalore.
```

## About

```text
At Dell Technologies, I develop C# and WPF recovery applications that ship in the factory software stack on commercial PC lines. I also designed and built a remote UI test automation agent that lets AI coding tools deploy binaries and verify features on physical test machines.

At eMageSoft, I built WPF applications for the Genie LS1 and Genie LS3 instrument software, which was shipped to 24 production lines that met the programme’s under-1% defect-rate target. I also delivered BV Trending, a statistical-analysis application for production-line performance.

Across industrial automation, medical-device software, and Dell update tooling, I’ve developed desktop applications and service-based components, automated unit testing, and GitHub Actions pipelines. I work test-first and use Claude Code and Windsurf in a spec-driven development workflow.
```
