I’m a Software Engineer focused on building IT automation systems that improve reliability, delivery speed, and operational clarity. Automated testing pipelines are one part of the stack — not the whole story.
My Mechanical Engineering background shaped a systems-and-controls mindset that now translates into scalable software architecture, automation design, and disciplined execution across product teams.
