About
I am a quality and validation engineer with extensive experience in software verification, test automation, and validation across EDA software. I have led automated regression suites, built test automation in Python and Bash, and integrated validation workflows into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines within Agile environments. I am comfortable working independently or in globally distributed teams and enjoy turning complex customer issues into scalable automated tests. I am currently expanding my knowledge in modern AI techniques (including RAG and agentic workflows) to enhance automation and validation tooling.
Outside of my core engineering work, I have pursued teaching and mentoring, and I recently began exploring AI-driven validation approaches to accelerate development cycles and improve reliability.
