What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that challenges my technical skills and offers opportunities for growth in embedded systems and software quality assurance.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong foundation in embedded systems and a passion for quality assurance. With a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Arizona, I have honed my skills in designing, developing, and executing automated tests for mission-critical software. My experience at Raytheon Technologies has equipped me with the ability to manage complex software projects, ensuring high standards of code quality and reliability.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented automated testing frameworks using tools like Google Test and GMock, and have developed Python scripts to streamline code coverage analysis. My role as Build Manager has further enhanced my organizational skills, allowing me to coordinate software delivery effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments, contributing to Agile development teams and conducting peer reviews to foster continuous improvement.
