• Currently working on initiative to validate the use of robotics to measure anti-spoofing performance. Evaluation includes comparitive study of manual versus robotic scanning of spoofs as well as aiding in the improvement of the basics of the robotic system used for this.• Served as Expert on fingerprint spoofing methodologies and evaluated anti-spoofing performance on a large number of screen protectors for the Made for Google team prior to release of the Pixel 9 series of mobile devices.• Analysis and comparitive testing of various under display fingerprint sensors targeted for upcoming mobile device releases.

San Diego, California, United States

Worked on the next generation of ultrasonic fingerprint solutions mainly in the mobile phone space.• Served as Expert on fingerprint spoofing methodologies and evaluated anti-spoofing performance on client and competitor mobile devices. Developed and demonstrated spoof creation skills exceeding or on par with many certification labs, biometric algorithm development companies, clients, and competitors. Work also involved competitor analysis and evaluating anti-spoofing on products using differing technologies such as capacitive and optical fingerprint sensors.• Developed system for high-output data collection of spoofed fingerprint images. Components included sourcing fingerprint images from users, developing automated methods of creating molds for spoofs to be created from, and aiding in design and development of applications to save fingerprint images in an organized manner.• Organized, ran, and further optimized many large-scale data collections to obtain data to measure and improve sensor performance across a large range of metrics.• Worldwide travel to client sites to assist in evaluation of fingerprint sensors for inclusion in upcoming mobile devices. Onsite client support during critical pre-launch and post-launch periods of commercial mobile devices using fingerprint sensor.• Provided support for various other projects including camera gestures, ultrasonic pen, and gesture ring.

Provided low-level support to first-level support colleagues, testing, maintenance, and enhancements for a suite of interactive games, exhibits, and experiences that utilized camera motion tracking technology.• Developed and designed software for use in interactive exhibits and displays. Onsite duties involved developing and/or modifying software after integration of all systems involved to ensure maximum quality.• Performed installations, training, and support at client sites internationally for an array of different products. Pre-installation tasks involved discussions with clients and offering support on required hardware and procedures necessary to ensure a successful installation.• Completed onsite work involving high pressure, tight deadlines, resourcefulness, and integration with other parts of the overall installation space such as AV, lighting, content management, etc.• Aided in development of Gesture Tek worldwide vendor network, setting up a product showroom and training vendors on all systems under the Gesture Tek portfolio. Continued support of vendor network as needed.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Developed a framework to perform automated installation and testing of a unified messaging system using C++, VBScript, VB.NET, ASP.NET and C#.NET.• Development of the framework included consideration for ease of use, simple development of new tests, load testing, and flexibility.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Performed Java/J2EE/UNIX (Sun Solaris) Client/Server Object-Oriented design, development, and maintenance for the Log Management Service server, a component of the CDMA Element Management System (C-EMS).• Oversaw Java development after an analysis of C++ code to ensure that the Log Management Service server achieved high functionality of the legacy system, performed maintenance on the GUI for the Log Management Service, and wrote query code for data access from the Oracle database. • Designed and implemented server interfaces using Java RMI.• Assisted team with special testing initiatives including developing and documenting test plans, unit testing, integration testing, GUI testing, and the use of automated testing using Perl.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Held a key leadership role managing Java/C++/CORBA/UNIX/Windows NT Client/Server Object-Oriented programming projects for this startup company. Projects included the Managed Object Agent (MOA) server for the Catena Networks ADSL Element Management System (EMS).• Participated in all aspects of the design of the system. Managed and performed hardware analysis, developing test plans, software design, and data modeling. Maintained various project components, including the GUI and the central database server with an Oracle database backend. • Tested, installed, deployed, and supported the system, and acted in the role of lead CORBA developer. Worked closely with assigned team to ensure activities performed efficiently and consistently met high management expectations. Additionally, maintained various project components, including the GUI and the central database server with an Oracle database backend.• Aided in system-wide testing. Developed test plans for MOA server as well as the system and managed bug tracking and automated testing.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
