What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive validation and software quality that helps teams ship faster—improving time to market, lowering costs, and increasing customer success through cross-team collaboration, clear risk management, and measurable quality outcomes.

I’m a proven Validation Architect and Software Quality Engineer with a passion for developing highly effective cross-team collaborations, product quality, and customer success. I take an engaged, hands-on approach to reducing time to market while decreasing costs and improving quality.

In my recent role as a Sr. Platform Software Quality Engineer, Customer Success, and Technical Program Manager at Intel, I led quality transformation by working hand in hand with executive leadership, engineering teams, and customers in a highly dynamic environment. I managed 45+ SW & FW ingredient teams, delivering high-quality solutions across pre-silicon (simulation/emulation FPGA) through Production for 7+ generations of client platforms.

I’m known for quickly analyzing dynamic, complex problems—removing ambiguity and ensuring salient information is conveyed to key stakeholders in timely, consumable formats. I’ve architected and standardized data qualification and quality expectations, led tiger teams for rapid root cause and corrective/preventative actions, and driven organization-wide initiatives such as code coverage adoption with dashboards for visibility.

Before that, I served as a Validation Architect and Organizational Process Engineer, strengthening validation processes, tool workflows, and lab strategies. I built high-density lab models, reduced setup/configuration time, improved test effectiveness, and used metrics and root-cause analysis (including 800+ escaped bugs) to drive measurable reductions in escapes to market.
