Maintaining and improving the core Simulink Architecture, including fixing existing bugs, identifying areas for improvement, and designing and implementing new infrastructure in C++ and MATLAB. Projects: Conversion of deprecated infrastructure used to expose C++ objects to MATLAB to newer version, requiring collaboration with many other teams and quick ramp up on several different code base areas, implementation of new event system using Boost signals and the Model View Controller design pattern in order to decouple the UI view components from the backend model components and improve performance.

Natick, Massachusetts, United States

Provided technical support for Simulink and control design automation customers, improved personal product knowledge and technical skills through numerous trainings, enhanced software development skills through rotational projects with various development teams, and conducted numerous technical phone interviews as a part of the interviewing team. Projects: Implemented CUDA code syntax highlighting in the MATLAB editor for the GPU coder team, created a logging application to maintain records of user actions within a Simulink model.
