Volunteered to lead set up and development of QA tools for DMs (Jenkins) in cross team collaboration with Senior Engineers in SRE, QA and DM.Collaborated with many departments to gather requirements for data validation tool including QA, Devops, Dev and Data Management.Designed extraction routines in Scala for Visier's ETL tools to load customer data.On boarded new clients, loaded new data, applied corrections to erroneous past data, added custom HRmetrics for data analysis and visualization and debugged inconsistencies in data.Attended customer calls with Business Intelligence Consultants and Project Managers to obtain business requirements, and give technical advice on solution architecture.

• Montana-Systems is developing a specialized computer for fast simulations of Verilog HDL designs. • Developed and optimized a Verilog compiler (Python / C++) for proprietary CPU architecture according to IEEE 1364-2001 and IEEE 1800-2012 language specifications.• Designed and implemented new instruction sets and algorithm improving multiple dataflow bit and part select executions from O(n) to O(log n).• Created tools to assist debugging hardware against software simulation of hardware. Extended features of the test infrastructure to compare standard output in addition to VCD output. • Ran 10,000 regression/unit tests on a distributed system through continuous integration pipeline. • Collaborated with hardware team in Los Angeles via Skype, held daily scrum meetings and followed an agile development process with issues tracking on Gitlab.

Support ongoing improvements of the Strategy and Innovations Office's development platform, upgrade file based caching to memcache for me.pediatrics webapp.Initiate the Office's involvement with hardware prototyping, project on 3D printing orthopedic back rest from 3D scan of patient's back using ToF camera.

Facilitate tutorial/labs for APSC100 interacting with students on a one to one basis, mark homework and midterms.

Project: Vehicle driver head orientation tracking device using time-of-flight (ToF) cameras.Conducted research, designed experiments and tested different cameras to determine ideal manufacturer to continue project with.Used Matlab code to control ToF camera for data acquisition and data analysis to determine head orientation (yaw, pitch and roll angles). Improved upon existing algorithm for determining head orientation. Proposed algorithm for dynamic ToF camera calibration based on experimental data.

Worked in software development team on in-house Lab Information Management software at the BC Genome Science Centre. Responsible for adding new features, updating and maintaining the software. Worked on creating new frame work for automated genomic analysis pipeline, creation ofinput files for automated rearrays using "Biomek Span-8" robot, Pico-green to Quant-it assayconversion related issues, and, invoicing related features.Extensive experience working daily with Unix system, MySQL database, Perl, SVN, Jira as well as experience working on XML-RPC protocol web service, submitting jobs to clusters with shell scripts etc.

Project: Bioinformatics for genomics of arsenic resistant microbes Successfully wrote programs in C++ to assist analysis of fosmid end BLAST data stored in excelfiles. Successfully created Phylogenetic Trees with Fosmid ends and known genes, and chemicalpredominance diagrams, and became familiar with bioinformatics programs including ClustralX,Megan, njplot, iToL, Medusa/Hydra and PhreeQC.
