A former HP consultant and longtime automation practitioner, he pairs deep hands-on skills in Tosca, UFT, Selenium, REST APIs, Jenkins and AWS with a track record of stabilizing complex legacy test suites. He also teaches development, data structures and algorithms, bringing academic rigor to practical engineering and onboarding. Cross-disciplinary training in electrical engineering and computer engineering underpins his analytical approach to scalable, maintainable test automation.
