What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior leadership role in embedded systems validation or IoT application testing within automotive or refrigeration product organizations, where I can strengthen controller-platform reliability, accelerate validation cycles, and deliver next-generation embedded control systems.

At Trane Technologies, I direct validation strategy for modular embedded controller platforms supporting Thermo King transport refrigeration systems, leading a 9-member validation and automation team across NPD releases. I expanded automation coverage from 25% to 75% and use Python-based automation to reduce regression cycles by 60–70%.

Across Trane Technologies, Ingersoll Rand, Axcend Automation, Planet I Technologies, and Festo Control, I've validated embedded controllers, HMI firmware, IoT-connected systems, OTA firmware delivery, CAN communication, Windows applications, PLC software, and motion-control systems. I lead release readiness, defect triage, root-cause investigations, and cross-functional delivery while supporting Agile workflows as an Acting Product Owner and Scrum Master.
