What I'm looking for

I seek roles focusing on embedded/firmware or systems software with hands-on development, collaborative Agile teams, opportunities to own features, and continued growth in DevOps and cloud practices.

I am a software engineer with hands-on experience in embedded systems and application development using C++, C#, and Python. I have contributed to real-time system software for transportation and navigation technologies, developed GUIs with Qt and .NET, integrated SQL databases, and produced embedded firmware for microcontrollers such as Teensy 4.1 while operating under an active DoD Secret security clearance.

I work across the full software lifecycle—requirements, design, implementation, testing, and documentation—using modern DevOps tools like Git, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms including Azure and GitHub Actions. I have supported field software test events, performed onsite commissioning and diagnostics, and led data analysis efforts using MySQL to improve system reliability for transit customers.
