Message

At OTIS, I planned testing and validation of new supplier and dual-sourced parts against ASME safety code requirements. I designed and executed 400+ validation tests across 12 elevator subsystem components, identifying critical failure modes before product release.

I also adapted legacy test methods, prepared data-derived reports, and presented findings to customers and cross-functional stakeholders. Earlier, I contributed custom test fixture design at OTIS and designed assembly line fixtures at HUSQVARNA.
