What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own automated testing and V&V end-to-end—especially in regulated domains—while collaborating cross-functionally, improving CI/CD quality gates, and strengthening traceability from risks to verification evidence.

I’m a Software Test Engineer with 10+ years across web, desktop, mobile, and embedded platforms, focused on test automation, validation and verification, and SDLC best practices in agile teams.

Currently, I’m delivering V&V for safety-critical medical device software under IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and FDA regulations, with end-to-end requirements and risk traceability (including FMEA/ISO 14971) from specification to verification evidence.

I build and maintain CI/CD test pipelines and automate quality gates using tools like Xray and Aligned Elements. I also leverage AI coding assistants, MCP servers, and LLM-powered agents to accelerate test development and streamline DevOps workflows.

Before medical devices, I led testing for robotics and submarine networking systems, creating test strategies across unit, integration, functional, performance, and acceptance. My background in robotics, motion control, and firmware testing helps me validate complex behavior and integrate mechanical/electronic system knowledge with confidence.
