I have over 20 years of experience in the IT industry and a passion for Android Software Engineering. Since 1999, I have been a part of major project roll-outs, acquired roles such as Roll-out Support Technician for the CVS Pharmacy online refill beta program. My responsibilities included remotely troubleshooting new hardware and software during the beta testing phase. Later, I became the Systems Analyst and Network Engineer for MDCalibrations. MDCalibrations provided calibration products and services to major manufactures, such as General Electric, Mercedes Benz, Lockheed Martin, and the US. Military. My primary responsibilities included designing, implementing, and maintaining the local network infrastructure as well as assisting with on-site calibration services for clients. As a result, I acquired a Secret Security Clearance by the US. Military and witnessed the manufacturing process for state-of-the-art technology. In 2017, I completed a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and a certificate in Advanced Software Development from the University of Phoenix. I have planned, analyzed, designed, developed, tested, implemented/deployed, and maintained 3 of my own applications, which are published on Google Play, and contributed to many other projects as well. In 2022, I designed an Hours-of-Service (HOS) application for a firm looking to enhance their current Electronic Logging Device (ELD) program. This included connecting various GPS tracking devices using Bluetooth LE and retrieving data from the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit/Module (ECU/ECM) via OBDII and J1939 ports. The data is cached locally and then synchronized whenever a valid signal is available. This required SQL and data encryption, as well as validation procedures. I designed the HOS application to perform independently from the rest of the application, which could be added to the project owners ongoing ELD program as a library module or by exporting to a server. At the beginning of 2023, I started a new independent project I call the Vehicle Engine Response Notification, or “VERN.” Essentially, when an engine trouble code is detected on a customers vehicle, the service department will be notified via email with details about the vehicle and the problem. The benefits of this are limitless. I specialize in wireless communication between devices using Bluetooth and WiFi as well as other mediums. Additionally, I have extensive experience connecting various external components and peripherals, telematics, and Geo-location services.
