Helped coordinate engineering and customer updates with the Sapphire Rapids platform release.Leading efforts in an Intel early access program. Helped expedite testing and validation of internal tool by creating a tool to scan for registers, compare against expected values, and report findings.Worked as part of a Security Advanced Debug Team, focusing on resolving issues related to TXT, PTT, and Boot Guard. Performed bring-ups, tests, and debugs for various platforms, mostly including Tiger Lake, Ice Lake, and Sapphire Rapids. Worked with a small team to pull info from Intel databases and push to a custom webpage, creating an accessible space for EA data, eliminating the need to create PowerPoints for each program. Gained experience with databases, low-level hardware, customer troubleshooting, program ownership, technical writing for newsletters, and software development.

I reduced input time by 91% for remote users and 20% for on-site users by developing a tool that used a GUI to select, modify, and upload all associated files for review, reducing human error and making the process much more enjoyable. Experience with different development stages from planning (contracts, requirements), to building (burn-up and burn-down charts, development), to testing and compliance (traceability, validation, audits), to final installation of hardware.Used C, MATLAB, and Simulink for changes to match new requirements from flow-downs, dealing with pre-emption, race conditions, and various system complexities.Performed both field and simulator-based testing of APU and other hardware. Gained experience with Root Cause Analysis in this testing. Gained experience with cert authorities including DO178B, DO178C, ISO9001, and Six Sigma, along with tools such as ClearCase, DOORS, Rational Rose, SAP, and others. Gained experience with software development, review processes, regulatory bodies, systems requirements, simulators, and hardware.
