Lead QA Engineer at Siemens Tanner EDA, improving DRC/LVS regression efficiency by approximately 40%.

At Siemens Digital Industries Software, I provide QA leadership for EDA physical verification products, shaping quality strategy, automation, and release validation. I redesigned regression workflows and introduced parallel execution, improving regression efficiency by approximately 40%.

At Siemens Digital Industries Software and earlier at Mentor Graphics, I worked on DRC/LVS validation, customer design flows, and regression coverage for physical design and verification software. I also reduced release validation cycle time through CI-driven execution.

Earlier, at LTX-Credence, I developed automated test procedures for ATE software platforms. At Synopsys Armenia and Monterey Design Systems, I tested EDA applications and developed automated test suites and validation cases for semiconductor design flows.
