Software Engineer with 25+ years of experience in debugging, system validation, and production software support.
Currently expanding into hands-on software development with a focus on backend systems, C++, Python, and practical tooling.
Experience working with real production systems, not just academic projects.
I’ve spent most of my career working with complex software systems in production environments, specializing in:
- Debugging difficult, real-world issues
- Root cause analysis across system boundaries
- Validating software behavior against specifications
- Improving reliability and reducing production defects
I’m currently pursuing a BS in Computer Science while continuing to build real-world development skills that reflect both my engineering background and growing coding experience.
