In ensuring technical quality, I prioritize clear communication regarding expectations and standards from the outset. Regular reviews and validations are conducted throughout the project lifecycle, incorporating feedback and iterative testing to confirm that our outputs meet both internal and client specifications.

I have significant experience working within the DO178B/C framework, where I led cross-functional teams through the various phases of software lifecycle processes—from planning to verification and validation. My focus has been on maintaining compliance while ensuring efficiency in delivery timings.

Motivating my team involves fostering an environment where every member feels valued. I encourage open discussions around challenges, recognize individual contributions, and set achievable goals. Celebrating small wins together helps boost morale and keeps the focus on team success.

I advocate for a reflective approach to continuous improvement in my team. After each project, we conduct retrospectives to identify areas for enhancement, whether it involves adjusting our workflow, adopting new technologies, or refining our testing methodologies to reduce waste and maximize output.

Prioritizing tasks within my team involves assessing deadlines, resource availability, and project impact. I use project management tools to track progress and regularly communicate with my team to address any bottlenecks early. Engaging the team in this process ensures alignment and accountability.
