I investigate complex system behavior in implantable cardiac devices through characterization, failure analysis, and cross-functional debugging.
Physiological Sensor Noise Investigation: Built experiments to isolate PCB, IC, and mechanical sources of sensor artifacts.
HW/FW/SW Integration: Verified system behavior across releases, device states, telemetry, and hardware configurations.
Feature Ownership: Owned verification, protocol improvements, regression, and automation for four core features.
Technical focus
- Systems Debugging
- Sensor Characterization
- Experimental Design / DOE
- HW/FW Investigation
