Currently, I lead a team at Microsoft, focusing on developing monitoring and deployment tools for hardware diagnostics on both Windows and Linux platforms. My expertise spans embedded multimedia applications, automotive systems, and microservice performance monitoring.

Throughout my career, I have architected and developed new tools and reusable libraries that significantly expedite existing processes. I have a proven track record in technical leadership, project management, and client communication, ensuring that project updates and roadblocks are effectively communicated. My hands-on experience includes building automation frameworks for REST API-based microservice monitoring and alert management, utilizing languages such as Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
