In my role as a Software Engineer Staff at Lockheed Martin Acculight, I work on a small team developing, integrating, and testing firmware and software for high-energy laser systems using embedded Linux, Xilinx FPGAs and RF SoCs. My responsibilities span from the innovation and design of new features to rigorous testing of integrated systems using various tools including RF test equipment. I also play a pivotal role in the development of software system architecture for persistent surveillance system fusing multiple sensor data, involving the creation of requirements, use case scenarios, and SysML modeling with Cameo. This multifaceted position requires me to constantly evolve and adapt to new technologies, ensuring the delivery of cutting-edge, efficient solutions while regularly interfacing with internal and external stakeholders, including customers.

Software engineer (SWE) providing services to Meta (parent company of Facebook) Reality Labs in Redmond, WA. I collaborate with a cross discipline team of visual scientist, optical/electrical/mechanical engineers, and product development teams building visual psychophysics experiments used to inform system requirements for research and development (R&D) and production augmented reality (AR) and visual reality (VR) systems. Basically helping to build the "Next Computer Revolution". I help teams with software design and development of visual psychophysics experiments using Python and MATLAB. Most of our projects involve the creation of user studies that collect data that feed into system requirements documents at a higher level product specification. In addition to developing software, I spend a fair amount of time doing hardware and software integration, project planning, and requirements development. I am experienced with haploscopes/stereoscopes, eye trackers, data acquisition systems, general optics, display color and luminance calibration, OpenGL, Python, PsychoPy, MATLAB, Psychtoolbox (PTB), C#, Windows Presentation Framework (WPF). I actively leads daily stand ups and weekly sprint planning meetings for the software and firmware teams. Both before and at Meta Labs, I've garnished a reputation for exceeding expectations while balancing rigor and pragmatism in schedule constrained R&D environments.
