Worked as the primary coder (and de facto systems engineer) for a GUI for a medical acoustic fluid filtration device under development (ekko Select). Acquired the Windows C# code base from a group of programmers, migrated the team to the Atlassian toolset and quickly fixed bugs/implemented features that had been plaguing the team for months.

Acquired the Windows C# code base from a group of programmers, migrated the team to the Atlassian toolset and quickly fixed bugs/implemented features that had been plaguing the team for months. Documented the requirements, design, and usage of the system and used this newly created documentation to lead the discussion and implementation of a set of code blocks designed to let non-programmers create recipes to be run of the system. Worked with another senior engineer to guide the Electrical Engineering/Software team from fielding daily support calls and technical problems to having bi-yearly planned releases with trusted and reliable functionality.

Held a Secret clearance for DoD contracts. Duties included everything from schematic review and early board bring-up to Windows-based tools/applications to technical and managerial lead work. Roles held:Primary roles:Technical Lead – Led the software design effort and ensured high code quality. Ran code reviews and Change Control Boards (CCBs) and mentored 5+ software engineers/interns. Implemented daily source control (Git/BitBucket/Sourcetree) and bug tracking (Jira) for the software team resulting in higher code quality.Non-Technical Lead – Managed teams of up to 7 software engineers. Bid projects, planned and assigned work, presented to customers (including a submarine captain), and collected/reported EVMS data. Authored high-level planning documents including Software Development Plans (SDPs), Configuration Management Plans (SCMPs), and Test Plans (STPs) resulting in the SW team being on time/on budget.Embedded Coder – Partnered extensively with Electrical Engineers to validate the design of new CCAs and implement them in a system. Coded peripheral interfaces (sensors, cameras, memory, etc.) in embedded C using various communications protocols (Serial (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485), I2C, SPI, Ethernet, PWM, Bluetooth).Application Coder – Coded simulators and test tools using C++/Qt. Solicited feedback from engineers/test technicians to design the most helpful tools and easy to use GUIs. Designed and implemented scripts to automatically turn enormous interface documents (IDDs) into code files. Designed a tool to import these files to automatically create a minimum viable product GUI with no recompiling.Secondary roles: Assistant Manager, Designer, Software Tester Show less
