Embedded Software Engineer                                            June 2015 – present

• Sole developer on refactoring multiple embedded projects that are actively used by thousands of farmers resulting in: a 92% decrease in cyclomatic complexity, a 28% decrease in data memory, a 9% decrease in CPU usage, and a 20% decrease in lines of code

• Implemented an embedded USB to In System Programming interface allowing a dsPIC to update an Atmel chip through USB without the need for a bootloader

• Architected and implemented a firmware update mechanism for a single dsPIC microcontroller to update different types devices and up to 32 microcontrollers at once

• Applied object oriented principles to C to improve code reuse and reduce coupling

• Initiated a weekly continued learning meeting to promote clean code and best practices

• Introduced and implemented: UML, Doxygen, static analysis, cyclomatic complexity, and Git hooks into our workflow which improved code quality and efficiency

• Used Bash to automate temperature readings of a TI microcontroller’s cores for thermal testing

 

Embedded Software Engineer Intern                           May 2014 – August 2014

• Reverse engineered and redesigned a J1939 to RS232 interface using a dsPIC which yielded in a more robust development tool

• Validated J1939 traffic using CAN analyzers

• Performed unit testing, regression testing, code reviews, and followed coding standards

• Applied scrum methodologies for agile development

Senior Design (Wireless Home Security)                     August 2014 – May 2015

• Designed multiple wireless sensors using a PIC24 allowing robust home intrusion detection

• Designed a wireless packet manager on a Raspberry PI using Qt TCP libraries which enabled the sensor data to be accessed remotely

• Implemented sleep states and power management in order to achieve prolonged battery life

• Performed integration testing with another electrical and computer engineer
