I built my career by progressing from manual testing into software engineering and test automation work, and ultimately into systems engineering focused on verification, validation, and operational reliability. I began by validating and releasing customer-facing production systems and expanded into automated testing, technical documentation, and software validation work involving C#, unit testing, and AI-assisted test generation. Today, I serve in systems engineering roles that require ownership, not just execution. I act as a primary technical point of contact, translate requirements into verifiable technical outcomes, and drive improvements in system traceability, performance, and user confidence.
My long-term trajectory centers on leadership at the intersection of engineering, AI, cybersecurity, and strategic management. I am particularly interested in environments where safety, dependability, and mission success matter, and I aim to grow into roles that combine leadership, strategy, and high-impact problem solving across complex environments.
