Ryan S. Email & Phone Number

Looking to get back to my roots as an electrical and information engineer, I came across a job ad at Garmin. I got the job by solving a really cool challenge where I was given some UART data corrupted by noise, which I had to decode to get the details to email my CV.Now I'm working on a team where I write firmware for a next-generation radar product that will be used all over the world.I'm very keen to apply my love for mathematical modelling to the algorithms on this project and I am looking very forward to the launch!

Throughout my time at Isazi, I had my first real exposure to data science and software engineering. Working on time series regression models to improve sales forecasting accuracy, I encountered real-world problems where data uncertainty and vague requirements were common.I also contributed various features and enhancements to a PWC web portal, which helped me grow my technical skills. Additionally, I engaged in a problem-solving course with Prof. Brian Wigdorowitz that focused on deriving models from reality, understanding causality, and solving genuine client problems. This combination of practical projects and theoretical learning was instrumental in shaping my approach to tackling complex challenges.

After my first internship at Stream, I was asked to come back for a second time 🙂This time around, I used Ruby and Regular Expressions to write scripts that parsed PDFs into structured data. This eliminated the tedious task of manually looking up duty and tax information for imported products.I developed a full-stack customizable message dashboard system using a headless CMS and Vue.js, enabling non-technical employees to edit Stream’s login page directly.To make sure everyone could use the dashboard easily, I wrote two sets of comprehensive documentation: one for the developers and another for the non-technical employees.

• Developed a versatile PDF generation system using Ruby, JSON, and Microsoft’s Mail Merge.• The system enabled non-technical employees to generate customer-specific PDFs, without relying on the software development team, thereby minimising Stream’s opportunity costs
