San Francisco, California, Us

Responsible for maintaining and improving existing Buildroot based OS and application codebase. Supporting hardware designers by implementing user-space Linux drivers for new hardware components (accelerometers, eeprom memories, etc…). Performed fitness for purpose testing on new radar vendor chip. Supported Data Science efforts to improve recognition accuracy by implementing data pre-filtering on embedded hardware. Created proof-of-concept thermal imaging system for recognizing and counting people in the field of view. Created text based visualization tool to help evaluate deep neural network performance through an ssh terminal.

Responsible for DriveSense© electric motor monitoring and control loop feedback electronics from concept through manufacturing. Designed and implemented the product hardware from basic requirements. Crafted the high level firmware architecture and lead the agile team to develop firmware and software in C for the product using bare-metal interrupt driven processing and co-operative time-sharing in a multi-core system

Clifton Park, New York, Us

Responsible for contributing work to several software contracts including track fusion and target triangulation across multiple viewpoints. Created several pipeline segments for processing incoming video streams in near real-time for use with object detection and scene segmentation in C++. Co-authored a Python based test and validation framework for development and analysis of adaptive learning algorithms

Horseheads, New York, Us

Responsible for ongoing maintenance of existing high performance C++ database software. Part of team to re-factor existing database server software to achieve highly parallel design, improved maintainability and simplified design to accommodate faster feature implementation and significant improvement in query response time. Continuing work included implementing new complex features and refactoring existing code for better performance using template meta-programming, micro and macro optimization and API design

Responsible for development of hardware and firmware HVACR controls product from concept to manufacturing. Projects include PCB design and layout using gEda CAD software, and dedicated server software in C++, under Ubuntu on various hardware platforms. Developed 3 unique hardware platforms and a single unified C++ firmware layer that interacts with all of them in real time.Responsible for DFM and contract manufacturing arrangements, box-build and quality assurance programs.

Responsible for Embedded hardware and software design, debugging and maintenance of products using Raspberry Pi / Pi2, Cypress PSOC embedded systems on chip and Freescale processors. Projects included redesign of digital fire extinguisher simulation hardware to reduce cost (removed over 55% of the PCB unit cost), improved simulator accuracy by switching to capacitive water sensing technology. Responsible for additional documentation and assembly instructions as well as training assemblers for newly launched R.A.C.E station product. Other projects included a redesign of a custom all-in-one system to replace multiple product lines, significantly reduce costs, and open new product opportunities

Atlanta, Ga, Us

Responsible for maintaining production and quality standards as well as tracking performance, training new supervisors. maintaining and updating dispatch. modifying dispatch for improved delivery performance. Projects include route planning and vehicle bay assignment / vehicle loader work assignment planning for opening of new local delivery center.
