  • Executed and automated high-priority BMC feature test cases (power, sensors, networking, interfaces), improving repeatability and reducing overall testing time ~10%.
  • Troubleshot infrastructure devices (switches, NICs, serial/USB bridges, JTAG), isolating HW/SW boundaries and resolving complex integration issues with BMC, USB, JTAG, and UART.
  • Verified software/firmware solutions end-to-end against requirements: validated functional correctness, performance thresholds (throughput, jitter, packet loss), and stability under stress.
  • Performed network protocol validation (TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP, DNS); captured and analyzed traffic using tcpdump/Wireshark; reproduced intermittent faults and documented fixes.
  • Built diagnostic Python utilities to standardize setup/teardown, DUT health checks, log scraping, and endpoint probing—reducing manual steps and improving test fidelity.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams (firmware, hardware, platform) to triage P0/P1 defects; provided clear, data-driven reports with steps to reproduce, traces, and pass/fail evidence.
  • Authored test reports and KPI summaries for releases (pass/fail matrices, failure taxonomy, impact/risk notes), improving stakeholder visibility and decision making.
  • (Secondary) Integrated tests with Jenkins and Allure for visibility and historical trends; used dashboards to spot flaky cases and prioritize stabilization work.
  • Selected Contributions & Recognition
  • Manager commendation for embedded system testing expertise, Python proficiency, Linux/Unix depth, and networking protocol fluency.
  • Trusted to own cross-team investigations due to proactive attitude and clear communication; recognized for strengthening team dynamics and shortening time-to-resolution.
