Dearborn, Michigan, US

Developed an automated computer vision test package that monitored infotainment screens for anomalies such as loss of sync, black screen, and frozen screen failures. The system was written in python using OpenCV and ran on Windows, MacOS, and Linux systems using a camera and on Ford test hardware running Linux and a frame capture buffer. The original.

Tallassee, AL, US

Member of the Data Collector Group which is responsible for developing new mobile and permanently installed remote water meter reading products. The products are outdoor rated devices that are designed to be installed on water towers, public safety, and commercial radio sites. They use 450MHz and 900MHz two-way radios for reading meters and cellular.
