- Innovative Development & Leadership: Pioneered the creation of Flight Software System and Integration Testing for cutting-edge satellite platforms. Led a team of 8 engineers through test efforts, including: systems requirements definition and decomposition; test scheduling, design, and development; and test execution and reporting to end customer. - Technical Expertise & Leadership: Leveraged expertise in Attitude Control Systems and Data Handling flight software to create test plans, procedures, and execute complex tests. Analyzed test data and developed automated testing frameworks, driving policy through system test design documents. - Cross-functional Coordination: Facilitated collaboration between Systems Engineers and Flight Software developers, ensuring the verification of embedded flight software for GEO and LEO satellites. - Software Architecture & Automation: Directed the design and development of spacecraft ground-software tools for next-generation spacecraft testing, optimizing for verification and timely delivery. These automated testing tools ensured safety-critical quality standards by integrating with source-of-truth datasets - such as Jama, DOORS, or Excel "databases" - and executing regression monitoring tests via a Gitlab pipeline on Kubernetes infrastructure. - Team Development & Advocacy: Mentored engineers and interns on test-theory and programming best practices, while advocating for Agile methodologies, including scrum meetings and sprint workflows, fostering a culture of excellence within the V&V group.

- Utilized Agile development methodologies to write or execute over 230 functional tests, identifying major software/firmware bugs ensuring peerless quality standards and 20-year product life-cycles- Created automated testing tools and frameworks using Python and Perl to simplify testing processes in an agile development environment saving hundreds of hours of testing efforts- Facilitated three product releases empowering dozens of customers to safely, efficiently, and economically deliver electricity to millions of consumers in 168 countries
