What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, mission-driven team role where I can expand full stack and test automation impact, mentor engineers, and deliver reliable, scalable systems.

I am a full stack software engineer with a strong foundation in system test automation and experience building scalable Python-based test frameworks for RF and defense systems. At CACI I served as technical lead for production test automation, designed modular PyTest suites, integrated automation into CI/CD pipelines, and mentored junior engineers while driving quality and delivery.

Previously I led UX and QA at ReturnQueen, delivering detailed bug reports, running A/B tests, and shaping user-centered interfaces. I thrive in collaborative, agile teams, focus on measurable efficiency improvements, and seek to expand my full stack engineering impact in mission-driven environments.
