• Managed 5,000+ connected devices across 5 globally distributed labs. Automated manual lab workflows and added display rotation robotics and portable multi-OEM networks for x86 and Arm tablet testing.
• Processed multi-million-dollar purchase orders and procurement from multiple suppliers, and deployed IT images on the latest customer quality sample silicon with global shares for customer and internal organizations.
• Ran off-campus, customer-hosted workshop environments on portable networks, and tested devices in Santa Clara to produce benchmark results for press releases.
• Extended remote capabilities across organizations to improve collaboration and response times.
• Safeguarded valuable equipment and customer identification materials.

Roles held: Firmware Validation Engineering Contractor, Intel (2009 - 2010); Graphics Debug Contractor, Kelly@Intel Folsom (2011)

• Wrote custom batch and Python automation scripts for Intel Management Engine firmware validation.
• Resolved OS firewall application compatibility issues during Windows 7 power management transitions, and built a random network phy MAC address generator to give embedded network phy devices unique addresses.
• Reproduced complex graphics and platform issues reported by customers, validation, and automation teams. Set up an imaging server that replaced DVD and CD operating system installs on new system builds, cutting labor hours with an immediate return on investment.

• Held a TS/SCI security clearance and worked in high-ambiguity, time-critical environments with incomplete information.
• Managed secure multi-system network configurations and cross-agency communications.
