Santa Rosa, California, Us

Member of the Test Engineering Software group, creating company-wide software solutions for all business units to consume. Agile development team focused on core library and component design to be targeted cross-platform and web. Development work is primarily in C++14, TypeScript/JavaScript (Node.js) and AngularJS. Development teams are geographically distributed across the globe. Key Achievements: Lead transition of development team from C# .NET to utilizing modern C++ (C++14) and Qt to build desktop software solutions and Facilitated 2-week modern C++ (C++14) training seminar to local and remote teams. Training material is now part of company-wide knowledge network. Lead investigation into how we could transition our UI development from using Qt to HTML5/Angular. We successfully created a new UI library utilizing Angular. All new SW projects are required to use this approach. Created distributed applications part of the "Test Development Platform" which utilize Node.js backends coupled with AngularJS frontends to provide private-cloud deployed environments to accelerate Test Engineering functions inside organizations. Deployments utilize container technology (Docker) and Kubernetes for fault-tolerance. Created core web services framework called KCS (Keysight Cloud Services) which all future distributed applications use for common services. Authored paper and abstract which was presented in the Keysight Technical Conference 2018.
