The script is compiled using a simple parsing tool I developed in python. - Developed a Serial Object in python to allow serial port testing in an interface cell using an interface pass through function. This improved efficiency and drive testing time and less movement of drives from serial cells to interface cells. - Developed a web/CGI-HTML tool using python and CGI-HTML that got integrated into a web-based program that allows the user to locally change the attributes of a drive for ease of local bench tests. - Collaborated with the Longmont Team and Singapore Team to implement the features of drive water falling.
