Developed automation tools and libraries that test and validate Zebra products against previous firmware versions and against industry competitors. The use of these tools allows for extensive testing and benchmarking that uncovers issues with devices faster than if tested manually.• Created a Python library for testers to design and perform benchmarks, written in YAML, that evaluate the decode performance of checkout scanners by swiping grocery items with a UR10e robotic arm, controlled with RoboDK, storing raw data in an SQLite database via SQLAlchemy, and compiling the results into Excel reports, enabling extensive benchmarking and evaluation of devices that could not previously be done.• Offered support and instruction to testers using tools and libraries developed, debugging issues encountered while running benchmarks.• Provided training and assistance to junior developers to help improve their knowledge of Python.

• Developed a benchmark suite in Python to measure the processing time of machine vision tools on fixed industrial scanners by parsing JSON data with Pydantic and producing Excel reports of performance results comparisons to different firmware versions, and against competitor devices.• Produced a .NET application, programmed in C#, that controlled a Moog Animatics Class 5 SmartMotor over TCP/IP via a GUI designed in XAML, allowing it to spin a disk at varying speeds and durations to simulate scanning barcodes moving along a conveyor belt.• Used Python to create tools for testers that controlled competitors’ devices for use in comparing against Zebra devices.• Assisted in maintenance and new test creation for a C++ testing library for Zebra’s industrial scanner.
