How I work

Root-cause discipline

Comfortable reading traffic at the packet level and working backwards until the actual failure is proven, not guessed.

Works independently

Used to owning a test area end to end — planning, execution, documentation and follow-up — without needing to be chased.

Clear communication

Writes findings so that engineering, support and management all get what they need from the same report.
