What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in network protocol testing and automation at collaborative, engineering-driven teams that value tooling, test coverage, and expedited, reliable releases.

I am a senior software engineer focused on network protocol testing and automation, with 3.5 years of hands-on experience in MACSec, IPSG, TWAMP, BFD and related L2/L3 technologies. I have led and mentored junior engineers, delivered automation that increased test coverage from 70% to 90%, and built tools that reduced release time and improved test execution by 40%.

I excel at reverse engineering multi‑DUT topologies, improving script stability, and streamlining test frameworks to remove redundancy. Recognized with multiple internal awards for rapid delivery and technical impact, I combine strong troubleshooting, automation, and collaboration skills to drive reliable product releases.
