I build reliable integrated systems through test automation, investigations, and technical leadership.

Message

At General Dynamics Mission Systems Canada, I led verification and validation for new software in a system-of-systems project, owning test strategy, requirements traceability, integration testing, and delivery planning.

I've built and maintained a hybrid virtual and physical lab of more than 50 Windows and Linux devices for over 20 testers, developers, system engineers, and customers. I also developed Python, Bash, and PowerShell automation for network validation and traffic simulation, expanded GUI test automation, and diagnosed difficult cross-subsystem defects through software and system-level logs.

Previously at THALES Canada, I progressed from Junior Software Tester to Intermediate IVVQ Test Engineer, leading system test execution, defect triage, integration events, and customer demonstrations. I enjoy bridging testers, developers, stakeholders, and system engineers through clear technical communication and practical support.
