Senior Software Engineer in Test (SDET)
Backend Engineer, Quality Assurance (QA)
Employers can request a warm introduction to this candidate.
Summary
Fourteen years breaking software before customers find it: PlayStation Now validated at 700,000+ concurrent users, enterprise security appliances, storage hardware at thermal extremes. Most recently I owned QA at an AI life-sciences startup, validating LLM outputs for pharmacovigilance, where a hallucination is a compliance risk, not a typo. Now I work AI-first (Claude Code daily) and build the guardrails that make AI-speed development safe to ship. Seeking senior SDET, test infrastructure, or tooling roles.
