Summary
Fernando Estevez is a Systems Integration Test Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience validating complex medical and embedded systems, blending systems programming and software design with practical test engineering. Based in Goleta, he spearheads black-box, white-box, exploratory and smoke testing at KARL STORZ Imaging while partnering across software, systems, mechanical and electrical teams within Agile delivery. His background in computer engineering from Cal Poly and projects—from RISC-V MCU Tetris and an MSP432-driven audio visualizer to AI prototypes using Keras and Python—gives him a rare mix of embedded-hardware intuition and applied machine learning familiarity. He also builds end-to-end solutions, having developed web portals, C# APIs and Azure-backed databases for image classification and potluck apps, showing comfort across full-stack and cloud services. Colleagues rely on him to translate system requirements into thorough test strategies and actionable defect reports that drive cross-disciplinary resolution.
