As the Engineering Manager for the Identity, People and Accounts team at 1Password, I focus on leading my team to meet our customers where they are by giving them convenient and easy to use features for managing their identities, the details of their accounts, and their relationships with other account members in 1Password. With these tools at their.

Having worked as a team lead for the Android team for several years, splitting my time between technical leadership and people management, I decided to transition to focus specifically on management. During the first couple of months of my tenure, I doubled the size of the team and fostered a collaborative work ethic that allowed us to meet all of our.

After a few years as team lead for the Android team, I was promoted to the level of Staff Developer. I continued to lead and grow the Android team, focusing in particular on developing scalable architecture in conjunction with the other platform leads. Recognizing that our existing approach to app development wouldn't scale well as we worked to deliver.

After shipping multiple significant updates to the 1Password app on Android and growing the Android development team at 1Password, I officially stepped into a hybrid role as the team lead. In practice, this meant that I split my time between software development, project management, and some light people and performance management.

I joined 1Password as their second Android developer and immediately set to work getting 1Password 4 for Android ready to ship from beta to stable. Within six months, we were able to finish implementing the core features, polish up the user experience, and ship 1Password 4 to our customers as the first full-featured 1Password app in the Android ecosystem..

As a Bloc mentor, I helped aspiring developers learn the art of crafting mobile apps for Android and iOS. I guided my students through their apprenticeship, from learning the basics of programming to completing their capstone project. The challenging questions that I got from the diverse group of students that I taught also helped me to deepen my.

My work at QxMD revolved around the aim of improving patient care by increasing knowledge translation within medical practice. What that meant is that I worked to develop best in class mobile apps for medical practitioners that literally put the latest and best information about patient care at their fingertips. For our iOS and Android apps, I worked on.

I started my own company with the aim of developing mobile apps for clients. Before jumping into projects for clients, I began by first developing and publishing a to do list app to the iOS App Store. I then went on to work on projects for clients that included apps for an audio-centric social media platform, reading books from a popular digital library.

I joined firmware engineering at PMC in order to transition from test into design. In this group I was able to harden my software development skills by working on low-level C-language firmware applications for embedded Linux on a provisioned router platform. In my role on the team, I developed components for enabling remote provisioning and configuration.

As a product engineer, I was responsible for the characterization and parametric testing of new and existing IP in silicon over process, voltage, and temperature variation. I began with testing wireline prototypes such as USB PHY designs and eventually moved over to wireless prototypes targeted at WiMAX and LTE specifications. I worked with the.

In my final co-op session, I was challenged with evaluating the design and performance of different optical reflectors. The goal was to determine the best reflector geometry and surface for providing optimal backlight intensity and uniformity on an individually modulated LED backlit display. I used several optical tools to evaluate the different reflector.

For this co-op session, I was responsible for the characterization and parametric testing of new and existing IP in silicon over process, voltage, and temperature variation. The devices I tested consisted of framers, muxes, and mappers for network backplanes. The results of these tests informed the manufacturing team of process adjustments that needed to.

My co-op experience focused on the testing of channeled graphite plates for inclusion in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stacks. To this end, I designed and commissioned a pneumatic test apparatus that could test the integrity of a plate by measuring the flow rate of plate's channels. I also developed software and methods for analyzing the.
