Research and Development - Automotive Performance and Scale

Enterprise Service Platform (ESP) teamResponsible for developing and implementing solutions related to performance and usability for a cloud IT platform which supports over 100,000 users.Developed a user experience performance dashboard which collects and aggregates response times for the most frequently visited pages on our platform.Developed and managed load testing on our platform by simulating typical traffic and measuring response times using NeoLoad. Created installation scripts to orchestrate the deployment of applications to over 100 servers resulting in a 89% savings in deployment time.Utilized Jira to develop within the SAFe Agile framework to deliver timely results and collaborate across cross functional teams.Achieved Cisco Security Green Belt certification

Tutored students in various courses in the Computer Science degree programGuided students through preparing and applying for internships and new graduate positionsHosted a webinar on job hunting and interview preparation

Developed an internal data reduction tool for analyzing log files and summarizing the results in an Excel spreadsheet.Changed the data structure for holding device information on the data reduction tool from a linked list to a dictionary, which increased efficiency of the program by 50% by reducing look up time from O(n) to O(1).Used the Managed Extensibility Framework and Interfaces to introduce polymorphism for reading different log file types.Created Software Design Documents and Concept Design Documents to document the design and implementation of the data reduction tool.

Instantiated an automated build infrastructure platform using a Buildbot server on a Google cloud instance to create a more efficient continuous integration and deployment process.Compiled and deployed a custom Yocto embedded Linux build using OpenEmbedded libraries for a Toradex Apalis iMX6 system on module.Wrote a python script that generates a scatter plot with a nonlinear regression curve of warmup efficacy values over time when given a json file of raw data.Wrote a bash script to prototype a pressure transducer via I2C protocol on a BeagleBone development board.In addition, I also learned the software development process and became familiar with tools, such as Jira for issue tracking and Bitbucket and Git for version control. I also contributed to the C source code on an embedded medical device by implementing new features and fixing bugs.

Answered inquiries from students about their C++ programs during office hours.Graded and provided feedback to students on their C++ assignments in a timely manner.
