• In my current role, I am responsible for developing and maintaining the vital software running on the MicroLok product suite of safety-critical railroad signaling controllers. I was able to quickly learn a large.
• Updated a vital communications protocol to support interfacing with car-borne controllers, while identifying and implementing reliability improvements.
• Wrote the vital software interface to programmable hardware for the vital coded output function. Supported troubleshooting the programmable hardware design by creating an automated Python test setup to exercise the.
• Identified, documented, and resolved defects prior to the firmware delivery for safety evaluations, saving time that would have to be spent making an additional release to resolve the defect.
• Assisted in the migration of the vital software codebase to Git version control. Configured an automated build pipeline using GitLab CI. Wrote a Git/GitLab "quick start guide" to assist developers unfamiliar with Git.
• Supported enhancement and defect correction efforts on legacy products.
