STMicroelectronicsAbout
I am a results-driven technical professional with extensive project and validation engineering experience in the semiconductor and electronics industries. I demonstrate strong leadership in managing the scope, schedule, risks, and quality of product validation, and excel at coordinating cross-functional teams and engaging with multinational stakeholders. I have significant expertise in test solution architecture, hardware/software validation, and mentoring team members. I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP)®, and I bring an AI-forward approach to my work — leveraging GitHub Copilot in daily development tasks and recently completing an n8n certification in workflow automation and agentic AI design to bring intelligent automation into technical and project workflows.
