Rethinking Aircraft design in the era of climate change

Doing fun software projects at various divisions of AmazonFrom writing software for cool consumer products in an IoT world, to building cloud services for getting personalized music content into the hands of more people..Currently, creating full stack software for Redshift - Amazons flagship Data Warehousing solutions for our Cloud customers... stuff like that. Science!

Lead firmware engineer for WiFi operation across the whole UAV system, including project scheduling and execution and keeping management informed of progress.patent pending: Regenerative lift for extending flight time. patent pending: Using spatial and frequency domain heuristics for optimal dynamic frequency selection, for WiFi video and control data transmission.

Full stack software engineer - lots of linux kernel/user space, device drivers (C), networking/ethernet switches (C++), PoE, Cloud, Ruby on Rails, java script, React, IoT... To put it simply: Software for cloud managed networking devices

Develop interface and flash software for cutting edge SSD controllers targeting enterprise and client markets.

- Constant immersion in an agile methodology of software development while including traditional elements such as design and code reviews. Embedded Software development in C++ and C.- Implementation for various SCSI commands and features to deliver simulator and firmware for the worlds fastest SAS SSD released by Samsung in 2012 to the Enterprise Market.- Implementation of various NVMe Commands and features to deliver the worlds first PCIe/NVMe SSD released by Samsung in early 2014.

- Lead Engineer for the world's first comprehensive Power Management firmware for Enterprise Class computer hard drives. Project involved coordinating multiple resources for gathering customer input, driving standards on the T10 committee, design validation and reviewing the test development, and providing weekly status reports to higher management. Cross-functional team effort across multiple sites and departments. Project known externally as Seagate's PowerChoice feature.- Developed new algorithm for radically increasing power savings on a drive in relation to workload on a drive. - Lead Engineer on Safe State feature for recovering from critical failure modes across all interfaces of Enterprise drives (FC, SAS, SATA). redesigned firmware resource mediation so as to simplify design, reduce memory overhead and improve performance.- Handled various customer support requests including from HP, EMC, Dell, Xyratex to resolve firmware issues or provide guidance on new feature usage.

Developed API interfaces based on 'C' for the mircrocode automation group.Handled low to medium priority customer issues logged against the API library. Gained experience with Unix and Windows debuggers. Developed and maintained test suites in Perl/C for the Solutions Enabler CLI interfaces associated with the TimeFinder (replication software) for the Symmetrix Storage Array. Developed software infrastructure for Automation and Testing to speed up the qualification process.
