I am currently working as a Systems Engineer at Qualcomm in Boulder Colorado on the 5G test base station team. My responsibilities include keeping up to date on the latest 5G spec developments, developing a simulated base station in C++, designing and selecting algorithms for our receiver processing, characterizing the performance of our receiver, and working with software and hardware teams to implement the algorithms on target. Because I played a key role developing the UL-side of the 5G simulator, a more recent role for me has been to ensure that high coding standards are maintained as a diverse group of teams and engineers have started to leverage this common framework, each with unique requirements and workflows.I received an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech, focusing on Wireless Communications and Digital Signal Processing. My thesis was on transmit precoding and interference aware receivers for LTE-Advanced Multiuser MIMO under the advisement of Dr. Michael Buehrer, a more detailed description can be found below.I have developed a wide range of experiences and skill sets that have made me a valuable member to each of the teams that I have worked with, both in the classroom and in industry. My ability to apply creative solutions to both the design and implementation of signal processing algorithms has been well demonstrated through the projects and industry work I have completed. Colleagues often come to me with their problems because I have cultivated a reputation as someone who is easy to work with, is willing to tackle new problems, and consistently gets results.
Listed skills include Systems Engineering, Wireless Communications Systems, Lte, Digital Signal Processing, and 7 others.
