  • Deep expertise in C++ software architecture design patterns and their practical implementation. 
  • Strong knowledge of software assurance certifications such as DO-178C and MIL-HDBK-516. 
  • Strong Git and Linux development skills, along with modern software development practices (e.g., CI/CD, test-driven development). 
  • A track record of technical leadership, with the ability to set and maintain high standards, guide teams through complex technical challenges, and collaborate effectively.
