● Expedited new project development time with Dual Phase Adaptive Equalizer legacy code. o Parsed unfamiliar, existing C code, adapting it for current needs, and updating syntax to match modern standards. o Utilized C++ STL containers such as deques and vectors, streamlining code reuse and readability. o Debugged transaction timing errors enabling accurate data flow rate on a clock-by-clock basis.● Collaborated with systems engineers and RTL designers to develop and debug C++ models of DSPhardware, including an oFEC interleaver/deinterleaver pair and wrappers to ensure correct loading ofdata into oFEC encoder and decoder. o Connected decoder outputs to callback functions for data capture, allowing for collection of metadata and bit error rate (BER) statistics providing performance insights. o Wrote a state machine in C++ that took outputs from the oFEC decoder to confirm the “sync” state of the decoder core. o Conducted performance verification (PV) tests and generated BER curve “waterfall” graphs from the data to sanity check the decoder model.● Wrote Python scripts that generated C++ files to be compiled into PV tests. o Implemented the use of Jinja templates allowing test settings to be easily updated and automated, eliminating the need for manual edits of C++ test files. o Utilized existing Python infrastructure to generate Makefiles for all Python-generated C++ files.● Visualized and interpreted performance verification (PV) data through the development of Python scripts based on Matplotlib libraries. o Optimized gains and test settings to maximize PV performance for metrics such as BER, Es/No, and OSNR penalty due to signal impairments.● Documented configuration and bring-up information for use by firmware engineers, aiding in embedded development and reducing time to market.

• Automated Makefile generation for Simulink generated C code using Python• Used C++ and SystemC to implement transaction-level modeling of communication hardware systems designed in RTL• Debugged C++ models in a design verification (DV) environment using Simvision to compare simulation results against SystemVerilog RTL code• Helped to develop a performance verification (PV) environment, running the above-mentioned C++ models with Python-generated tests to ensure design performance requirements were met

Research Assistant in an Electronics lab where I applied my computer engineering skills to assist in developing data logging and handling solutions wherever they were be needed. Additionally, I worked to design and develop a custom PCB using Altium Designer.
