About

I am a Senior Product Engineer with experience in product engineering, firmware and system testing, troubleshooting, and cross-functional technical coordination. My background started from Physics and electronics. Over the years, I have built hands-on experience across test development, firmware validation, product quality improvement, and industrial system support. I began my career with exposure to electronics and test development, including internship experience using LabVIEW to improve product functionality. I later worked in firmware test development, where I developed test scripts in Python and TCL to improve Hard Disk Drive quality and functionality. During that time, I also worked in an agile team environment and took on the role of Scrum Master after completing Scaled Agile Scrum Master training, which strengthened my collaboration, communication, and team coordination skills. In my current role as a Senior Product Engineer, I am responsible for overseeing batch controller related products, supporting product quality, coordinating across teams, and contribute into planning, testing, design review, troubleshooting, and technical communication. I am particularly interested in areas related to product engineering, testing, firmware, industrial automation and system integration. I value continuous learning, problem-solving, structured execution and building leadership mindset. I enjoy taking on technical challenges, working closely with different stakeholders and driving improvements that enhance product reliability, quality and support.
