En résumé

Currently senior application engineer and a technical leader in ST.
My role is to ensure embedded software and hardware validation of a given IP inside ST set-top box SoCs.
This includes keeping in touch with design and verification teams to understand the HW, analyze bugs, be informed of enhancements.. and with SW, support and sometimes marketing teams to deliver/enhance the SW, do the needed support and participate of the Demos development.
I worked on differentIPs, new features, different environment and teams, things that make my adaptation to any new requirement/job easier.
