I am a Software Developer with over 9 years of experience in software engineering. I am a fast learner accustomed to adapting and learning on the job. I regularly fill in knowledge gaps in order to complete my work to the high-quality standards I set for myself. A few examples where I took the initiative include learning Python, JavaScript and Groovy, picking up developer tools such as Git and Docker, and automating builds, CI/CD and tests with Jenkins Pipelines and GitHub Actions.Throughout my 11+ year technical career, I have corresponded with team members across geographical and language barriers, aided by my excellent communication skills. I have worked remotely for more than 3 years and am skilled at digitally collaborating with coworkers.During my career I have:- Created a Docker based microservice REST API using Python and the FastAPI library.- Learned GitHub Actions and created workflows for continuous delivery and automated releases of a Python microservice, reducing the complexity to build and the time needed from minutes to just a few mouse clicks.- Wrote electrical conformance test automation scripts, reducing manual test effort by 50% or more. This required interfacing with test equipment, the hardware under test and data processing software.- Worked in a Devops role and identified pain points in maintaining the team’s Jenkins CI/CD infrastructure and initiated fixing them by converting to Pipeline jobs, reducing the number of jobs by about 75%.I graduated cum laude from Portland State University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Power Systems emphasis. During my time in college I completed two internships, one at Intel Corporation and the other at Portland General Electric.

Listed skills include Embedded Systems, Matlab, Electrical Engineering, Verilog, and 1 others.
