Senior Software Test / Quality Engineer at Medtronic, extending Hugo RAS verification into HIL for surgical-stapler firmware.

United States
Message

At Medtronic, I drive software verification and quality for the Hugo RAS surgical-robotics platform and EGIA surgical-stapler subsystem within medical-device design controls. I maintain C++ test automation for Hugo RAS and extended surgical-stapler firmware verification from SIL into HIL.

I also implemented a DTLS 1.3-over-UART handshake using wolfSSL, proving cryptographic interoperability with production firmware. My security testing covers packet authentication, Secure Boot, and DTLS session resumption, including negative paths.

Before Medtronic, I worked across mobile, web, and avionics quality engineering. At Digital On Us — Kroger, I led a mobile automation framework migration; at Global-Vantage, I verified Boeing 747 avionics subsystems under DO-178B.
