What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue testing embedded software and firmware, contributing across test planning, release validation, defect tracking, and system reliability in a collaborative Agile environment.

I'm testing GoPro camera firmware at Rinf.Tech across complex indoor and outdoor environments, owning test documentation, TestRail plans and cases, release validation, stress testing, and high-priority defect tracking.

Previously at Luxoft, I tested embedded automotive software for BMW, Magna, and JLR using CANoe, CANape, TRACE32, Cantata, and AUTOSAR, covering unit, integration, and qualification testing against safety standards.
