Go-to resource for various technical legacy questions; C++/compiler, scripts, loadbuild process, base software, tools, hardware test-benches, feature applications and proprietary test traffic tools. Loaned to CDMA organisation expertise to accelerate CDMA wireless application development on the PVG’s platform, to create a new 2 port Voice service card; the 2pVS. Led technical discussions, discussed message/call flows and provided technical guidance on all 2pVS features. Trained CDMA team and directly mentored 2 junior designers. Consulted in hot issue resolution, collaborated with designers of other business groups over common code base, APIs and design direction. Documented design and test plans/procedures, coded C++, unit/integration/system/traffic tested and stood-in as 2pVS architect for months at a time. Show less
