SUMMARY:

• I am experienced in the design, development, and delivery of electronic products. Most recently I specialized in the development of Test Software and Test Hardware deployed into a production assembly line. I’m familiar with sprint paced projects, most recently building pilot prototypes to shippable product in 8 weeks. Historically I’ve developed and ran functional tests with Instrumentation. Executed Test Plans and reported results. Created/debugged and integrated HW and SW delivering automated Test Solutions (Systems) ready for R&D engineers and the factory’s Production floor.
