Leading the body controls firmware team. We develop and validate firmware to control mechatronics (motor control, sensing) and lighting systems in Tesla vehicles.

• Body Controls: Actuation and Sensing Lead• Responsible for Model X powered closures firmware and controls, Model 3, prototyping, and future projects

• Developed Model X falcon door firmware and controls from prototype to production• Took on lead role in power front door, power lift gate, and other robotics/controls firmware projects• Developed common architecture used in all Model X powered closures • Created the "Merry Model XMas" light show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lrO39NDT6E)

Sample Projects:• USB Device (MSC + HID) with custom bootloader, AES-256 secure content update mechanism• SIM Card Overlay – STK commands used to implement hardware-based OTP application on any phone

• Embedded multimedia software development on QNX (for BB10)

• First employee and lead developer of the inPulse Smartwatch• Responsible for all software: embedded, mobile app, created (world's first?) smartwatch SDK• Debugged hardware and fixed critical processor sleep issue

• Designed and implemented core networking components of a Linux-based C++ video-networking application • Implemented IP defragmentation, a high-speed timer system, packet direction determination, and debugged TCP implementation• Strengthened high-performance C++ coding skills

• Designed and implemented cost-saving test infrastructure in C# replacing a deeply flawed system • Wrote C# unit tests to test a complex networked database application• Discovered the beauty of New Zealand while hiking, sky diving, and bungee jumping

• Assisted in board bring-up, verification, and debugging of new designs • Debugged a variety of hardware issues using lab equipment (scopes, logic analyzers, etc.)• Learned the entire hardware iteration process from requirements, design, PCB layout, to board bring-up

• Developed hardware verification tests via kernel-mode driver (FreeBSD 6) for 10Gbps network device • Implemented automated testing procedures as well as a cli (command line interface) manufacturing test tool • Strengthened my object-oriented C++ design skills and gained valuable kernel-mode experience in C

• Contributed to the development of software (driver and stack) implementations of WiFi and Bluetooth on the iPhone • Implemented RF factory software test mode (kernel and user-space software components)• Learned as much about applied innovation as embedded systems

• Designed Java-based GUI projector control application to customer specifications and implemented solution (Java & C++)• Learned about control methods and device communication via Ethernet and Serial
