Embedded Systems Test Engineer
5+ years across software QA, automated testing, API & SQL validation, field deployment, systems integration, and technical fault diagnosis. ISTQB-certified, currently working hands-on with autonomous defence systems in the field.
Embedded Systems Test Engineer with over five years of experience across software quality assurance, automated testing, API and SQL validation, field deployment, systems integration, and technical fault diagnosis.
Currently supporting the deployment and integration of autonomous defence systems, working with Linux-based environments, Rust-based systems, edge devices, command-line tools, and hardware–software interfaces. Previous experience spans software testing within engineering, measurement, medical, finance, CRM, media, e-commerce, mobile, and server-side environments.
ISTQB-certified, with a practical and safety-focused approach to testing complex systems, investigating faults, validating releases, and working collaboratively with software, hardware, and operational teams.
Supporting the deployment, integration, testing, and operation of autonomous defence systems across multiple field sites, working across software, hardware, and network interfaces alongside engineering and operational teams.
Wrote and maintained automated regression test scripts in Cypress (JavaScript/TypeScript) for products across finance, CRM, and media-hosting projects, growing the automated test suite from 15 to 120 tests within an Agile delivery environment.
ChallengeRelease confidence was low — only 15 automated checks covered finance, CRM, and media-hosting products, so most regression testing was manual and slow to run each sprint.
ApproachBuilt out the Cypress (JavaScript/TypeScript) suite from the ground up sprint by sprint, prioritising the highest-risk user flows first and integrating new tests into the team's per-sprint release cycle.
ResultGrew the suite from 15 to 120 automated tests — an 8x increase — cutting manual regression effort and giving the team faster, more reliable release confidence.
Manual and automated testing across web applications and mobile devices, with a focus on API validation, SQL-based data checks, defect investigation, and release quality.
Progressed from apprentice to Junior Test Engineer Technician within an engineering and measurement-focused organisation, writing and maintaining automated tests in Ranorex (C#) across e-commerce, medical, and CMM (coordinate measuring machine) environments.

Experienced working in confidential and restricted technical environments, across software, hardware, embedded systems, and field operations.
Volunteer drone operator and search coordinator supporting lost-pet search operations across Worcester, working alongside other local search groups. Directly helped locate and reunite 10+ dogs with their owners over two years of active field searching; now focused on search administration, coordination, and planning rather than leading searches from the field.
Built a portable remote-monitoring rig for search operations by adapting Ring doorbell cameras with 5G modems as backhaul, giving the team live monitoring of search areas and access points with no existing wifi or fixed network coverage.
A small end-to-end test automation example built in Cypress, demonstrating the same suite structure and patterns used to grow the regression suite at Serial Affinity from 15 to 120 tests.
