Driving AI-native quality engineering for 4G/5G Cloud RAN with measurable delivery impact across global telecom programs.

Test Engineering Manager at Combitech (Ericsson Projects) (2024 – Present)

• Lead Cloud vDU and 5G RAN CI/CD validation across functional, regression, performance, and stability testing.
• Applied AI-assisted Binary Search techniques on CI/CD telemetry and test results to isolate failing changesets/configurations faster, significantly reducing triage time and accelerating rollback or fix decisions.
• Drove AI-powered automation across Cloud RAN validation by integrating Amazon Q, Python analytics, and CI/CD telemetry to improve regression efficiency (~40%), reduce defect escape (~30%), and enhance MTTR (~25%).
• Established AI-assisted triage workflows combining log correlation, anomaly detection, and historical defect patterns to proactively identify high-risk changes.
• Integrate automated test suites with Jenkins and GitLab CI pipelines.
• Drive AI-assisted defect triage, regression prioritization, and log analytics.
• Operate Kubernetes-based scalable test execution environments.
• Define release quality gates using automation metrics and failure trends.

Technical Lead, Testing at Freescale / NXP (2009 – 2024)

• Defined 5G/LTE test strategies across functional, performance, interoperability, and stability domains.
• Designed SA/NSA validation across C-RAN, eNB, gNB, and 5G CPE.
• Built carrier-grade labs using Keysight UXM and Viavi TM500.
• Implemented Python automation frameworks and RCA workflows.
• Delivered 40% test cycle reduction and 30% defect escape improvement.
• Mentored QA engineers and led CI/CD automation adoption.
• Recognized with NXP Bravo Awards (twice) for delivery excellence, automation impact, and cross-team leadership.
