• Developed C/C++ firmware for IBM Z16 and Power10 processors, specifically for embedded microprocessors utilized for poweron. Features developed include processor power-on procedures, HSIO SerDes BIST functionality, Vital Product Data handling for chip and system, and SPI control for on-module EEPROMs.• Handled the development and execution of functional tests and procedures for the multiple processor IO bus designs.• Performed structural design analysis with Cadence tools to augment test coverage of faults in scan-design. Read through source VHDL to give design enhancement requests to the hardware designers.

• Assisted with MATLAB/Simulink designs for flight control systems and C programs for model generation.• Automated ~35% of the requirements for Cessna aircraft’s PCB validation and testing. Using Python and VBA to automate test case generation for software and hardware verification. Worked towards automating test execution with LabView.• Worked with VHDL to help program FPGA’s for better understanding of how the Printed Circuit Boards and Programmable Logic Devices are developed and worked with schematic design and physical board validation and verification.

Hunt Valley, Maryland

Worked with the Electronics Systems group and programmed in C# and XAML for a RF cable tester project. Implemented different database functions using Model-View-ViewModel and Inversion of Control and designed GUI screens.

• Worked at Zerochaos for Netapp• Worked with a variety of Windows and UNIX-like operating systems. Installed service pack and patch updates and operating system installation and maintenance on PCs and servers.• Executed test cases designed to validate host software features, controller firmware features, disk drive functionality, and component (host adapters, switches, hubs) interoperability. Documented test results via test management tools. Wrote problem reports that describe test case failures Lastly, reproduced problems in order to assist developers' debugging efforts.• Providied test status information to test engineers and developers• Assembled test configurations into a storage area network (SAN) (i.e., connecting hosts, controller modules, disk drive modules, switches and hubs), Updating drivers for the various hardware components that make up a test configuration• Worked on Automation team to program, develop and support internal tools, websites, and software
