Create Requirements templates for team members. MRD, PRD, Specifications, Test specs, and miscellaneous supporting documentation. Follow Agile Methodologies while writing software (C/C++) and validating to meet industry leading performance metrics. Lead software department for the Sensors Group within the Electronic Motion and Controls Division of Parker.

I develop programs implemented on Proof of Concept projects, handle database development and management, review schematics, review printed circuit board layouts, and verify that the circuits and components used will have the desired functionality. I note corrections that can be made and any improvements that can be made on the system. I solder, test.

Contracted to Caterpillar:I wrote scripts in C interacting with a MRET dSPACE system to validate the moderately complex ISO standardized steering software based on specifications and requirements definitions. This was completed on a Hardware In the Loop (HIL) system. I simulated J1939 CAN communication protocols to mimic functionality from Electronic.
