• Architected and helped develop the proof of concept for an Android Pen interface to decrease the steps a user needs to use the android copy paste buffer. The concept also includes a heuristic engine that will create a context base application recommendation engine to expedite app selection. The heuristic is based on a modified Self Organizing Map to create relevant answers rapidly. • Developed the Android Architectural strategy for the next generation Android streaming device. Developed a strategy to collect and quantify performance data between the device and a host, and based on the empirical evidence gathered, tuning of the device resulted in significant performance gains. Directed a human factors study which resulted in improvements to the user interface.
