What I'm looking for

I'm looking to validate software, data, or AI systems where I can translate requirements into traceable testing, investigate root causes, and help teams ship reliable, high-impact products.

At Tiffyn, I create functional and regression test scenarios for orders, payments, permissions, and chain-of-custody workflows, investigating defects through Jira, Postman, AWS CloudWatch, browser DevTools, and PostgreSQL/RDS evidence.

I've also validated cloud assessment and healthcare AI platforms at SMU and Calyra, translating stakeholder needs into requirements, acceptance criteria, and traceable test coverage. My computational research combines Python-based data workflows with experimental validation, including JDB-1-200, which achieved a 16x MIC improvement and contributed to a U.S. patent and first-author publication.
