|
||||
I am a **Software Engineer** specializing in the intersection of hardware, security, and automation. My career has evolved from architecting firmware for IoT appliances at Panasonic to securing high-stakes MoD systems with Tanium at Pointwire. Currently, I’m at Nextbase, where I test firmware and cloud systems by building automation frameworks and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments.
|
||||
|
||||
I’m a firm believer that if a task is worth doing twice, it’s worth automating once. Whether it's hunting down safety-critical bugs in microcontrollers or optimizing OTA update stability, I enjoy the challenge of making complex systems "bulletproof."
|
||||
|
||||
When I’m not writing scripts or managing my Proxmox server, you’ll usually find me tinkering with my **HomeLab** setup, playing the piano, or heading out on a day trip with my dog.
