Embedded Software Engineer in Reality Labs: Research.

A firmware engineer working on Project Orion at Reality Labs.https://about.meta.com/realitylabs/orion

Wrote firmware and drivers for HoloLens 2. My main focus was on thermal management: writing drivers to manage device temperature, designing the interactions between firmware and the operating system to ensure the device remains cool, writing ACPI and UEFI to implement thermal policies, and designing and implementing mitigations which could be deployed if the device was overheating.I wrote the Azure Kinect ROS Driver, an interface layer that allows the Azure Kinect to expose data to the Robot Operating System (ROS) on Windows and Linux. This software was open-sourced on GitHub, and I managed the interaction with the community, working on features and accepting Pull Requests from contributors.

Writing firmware, drivers, and userland code for a variety of Windows Mixed Reality products, including VR and AR headsets as well as Motion Controllers.

Working on autonomous navigation software for ground based robotic systems. Worked with Velodyne and SICK LIDAR sensors to generate point-cloud maps of unstructured environments. Worked with OpenCV to process images from PointGrey Firefly color cameras and extract features, and map 2D camera data into the 3D world map.Responsible for managing co-op students working with the team, and works closely with new members to train them in using our software processes.

Designing dual-redundant firmware and in-service upgrades. Created a bootloader environment for an ARM core to enable software updates, firmware integrity checks, and on-the-fly firmware patching.

Working on database abstractions in C++. Improving core system software to support new media sorting and storage methods. Upgrading web-based control panels to support new media cataloging methods.

Designed a test automation framework for carrier-grade telecom hardware.

Worked on the BlackBerry 10 Simulator designing and implementing various components, including:-Startup Tooltips-Automated Simulator Detection/ConnectionContinued work on the automated testing framework by creating new tests and expanding the setup to include more testing machines. Assisted in diagnosing and identifying bugs detected by the testing system.Worked on a web diagnostics portal for BlackBerry 10 devices. Designed interfaces between web components and embedded software.

Designed and implemented several parts of the BlackBerry 10 Simulator, including:-Automated Testing Framework-KML File GPS PlaybackPrototyped and developed a Web Diagnostic Tool for BlackBerry 10 Devices.In addition, during my time at BlackBerry I worked with numerous technologies, including:- Qt Application Framework- QNX Operating System- WebGL / OpenGL development- CGI Web Design
