Designing, implementing, and debugging power management software for the Pixel phone bootloader.

Working on VoWifi audio encoding, decoding, and packetizing. Implementing the RTP protocol and debugging IMS signaling and handovers.

- Developed and commercialized Snapdragon 855 modem power software. Implemented new features and hardware workarounds to meet power goals. Worked with cell phone manufacturers to gather power data and test fixes in short timelines to meet customer release dates.- Architect and designer of multiple power improvement software features, including large-scale refactoring to reduce code churn and rework.- Developed Python debug and analysis tools to reduce time spent debugging and automate typical debug tasks. Developed a framework to allow developers to easily incorporate debug scripts into an automated tool which gives triage information on likely root causes of issues through email.- Introduced process improvements to enhance code quality and reduce bugs and rework, including a new code review process, authoring design principles and coding standards documents, and giving training on best practices to U.S., India, and China Modem Power teams (~30 people).

Fifteen-month solo motorcycle trip through Central America, South America, and Europe.

- Designed, implemented, and owned new Resource Scheduling Library for managing modem hardware power cycles; responsible for new feature implementation, debugging issues, and maintenance. Scheduling library has seen the lowest occurrence of defects and lowest code churn of Modem Power Software features in 6+ years since creation.- Optimized latency-critical software to reduce power usage and provide fine-grained control of power features to latency-intolerant modules.- Developed thread-safe solutions to control hardware power-up and take-down sequences.- Developed instructional materials and mentored developers on the functionality of and principles behind various hardware and software modules; responsible for communication and education about features to management and other technical groups.

100-day solo motorcycle trip through each of the 48 contiguous United States.

- Spearheaded object-oriented design of real-time clock synchronization library; created object-oriented design to implement protocol for synchronizing real-time clocks through datalink.- Designed new Service Hour Meter synchronization library; successfully replaced legacy library while maintaining backward compatibility for both API and datalink behavior.- Served as proactive member on committee to adopt MISRA software safety standards. - Persuaded senior leadership and technical leads to incorporate new modifications to service hour meter clocks; identified and demonstrated overall value of changes, gained buy-in from all relevant parties, and negotiated schedule for delivery.Technical Scope: C, Enterprise Architect UML Modeler, ClearCase, TRACE32/Lauterbach In-Circuit Debugger

- Resolved defects and incorporated features to machine diagnostic tracking libraries, including new storage system that cached non-volatile memory writes and synchronized with background tasks. - Maintained script that created profiles for static code analysis tool.

- Incorporated new features and bug fixes in VB script for comparing application variables in release software against static configuration database, thereby decreasing user input, reducing errors, and automating testing activities.- Created a Windows service to gather test files from dealers and collate data into an Excel file.Technical Scope: C, Perl, Visual Basic, ClearCase

Developed proof-of-concept program that read and interpreted GPS receiver data, displayed data through a graphical web-based user interface, and determined whether location was within a user-defined polygon.
