Having 14+ years of engineering experience, I discovered my passion for software test automation, with Python being my preferred tool. Despite having a MS degree in Mechanical Engineering from San Jose State University, I transitioned to the IT field to pursue software test automation. Teaching is something I enjoy as much as learning, and I am eager to help students progress quickly and advance in the field of software testing and automation.
