• Identified and removed performance bottlenecks in 3A codebase that resulted in 35% heap memory and 44% latency improvements for most compute intensive camera usecase.
• Designed image stats filtering framework using Chain of Responsibility OOP pattern that resulted in streamlined logic for dynamically enabling stats during runtime and saved multiple man hours.
• Designed and refactored major portions of the existing 3A codebase for commercialization of Auto HDR feature that communicates with all camera cross-functional areas.
• Mentored new team members.
