• Implemented C framework and compression algorithm to dynamically load sensor initialization data on runtime; reducing firmware binary size and compressing sensor data size by ~3.0x• Designed and implemented framework to preserve sections of memory between bootloader and main firmware• Developed and supported backup camera calibration app for Toyota customer program

• Successfully led fix of critical driver issue involving multiple development teams and senior project managers that was preventing release for major multi-national customer• Developed C implementation of driver to correctly implement Display Port AUX protocol to meet DP compliance test suite• Resolved display corruption, driver hang and blue screen issues for multiple major clients including HP and Lenovo• Delivered a 60% reduction in driver resume time and automated related Python test scripts to facilitate future debugging

Burlington, Canada

• Developed Linux device drivers in C that interface directly with the FPGAs controlling the IO buses; added pre-boot NVRAM capability to the gimbal• Programmed driver to interface with the RTC chip, adding features including elapsed time and power on counters in C++• Stepped in to successfully debug hardware failure remotely on customer system hours before live customer demonstration in Italy• Designed automated programming system for core system RTOS, reducing attended installation time by over 90% and eliminating user error• Designed custom PCB and developed software on ATmega32U4 for automated BIOS programming of system RTOS

Hamilton

• Developed C# UWP application to communicate with the newly released Nix device both over USB, using their custom specification, as well as over BLE with their custom GATT implementation• Developed C protocol and a C++/CLI wrapper to allow the usage of C# BLE APIs from Photoshop and simplify development for the development team• Researched, prototyped and reported on the feasibility of integrating the Nix device into Photoshop through a plugin, and designed alternative method of integration after the original was deemed not possible

Hamilton

• Researched and developed a color palette generation algorithm and implemented it in a Java Android app, which resulted in a significant increase in new customer leads and interest• Wrote both customer-facing Android apps in addition to apps for manufacturing lines

Hamilton

• Founded not-for-profit robotics company to help stimulate STEM education in the community via competitive robotics• Raised capital of $12,000 from local companies and organizations• Recruited, trained, coached and led the team of inexperienced members to qualify for the 2017 VEX World Championships, building multiple robots along the wayOrganized Robotics Expo Day to showcase achievements to the community. Over 300 visitors attended with an introduction by the Assoc Dean of Engineering at McMaster University. Delivered keynote speech at the event which culminated with multiple schools asking for help to set up their robotics programs. It was a lots of fun (video link below), grateful and stimulating to see the interest generated.

Hamilton, Ontario

• Led and managed team to win the Design Award and Finalists at regional tournaments, qualifying us for the Ontario Provincial Championships• Designed and led the construction of multiple successful robots• Organized and led the planning and documentation process, and compiled and wrote our Design Award winning writeup• Organized a meeting schedule and set deadlines for the different subsystems of the robot• Designed and built subsystems from multi-stage transmissions that shift using pneumatics to elastic launchers and flywheels

Hamilton, Ontario

• Led team strategy which resulted in winning multiple regional tournaments and the Ontario Provincial Championships, and to participating in the World Championships twice• Programmed robots in Robot-C, a derivative of C, to operate both autonomously as well as with controller input• Implemented commonly-used industry algorithms such as PID to control subsystems such as flywheels and lifts

Hamilton, Ontario

• Founded the FLL and VEX IQ team at Hillfield Strathallan College• Coached team to success at the regional championships, qualifying them for the Ontario Provincial Championships in 2016• Led the teaching of robotics concepts, planning and design principles and programming using RobotC to students in Grades 5-9

• Led and managed the teaching of robotics concepts to children in Grades 5-9 through NXT and video game programming through GML• Participants were able to demonstrate their learned skills through their designed and built mobile NXT robots performing tasks such as object manipulation and their 2D platformer games written using GML• Led group activities for the campers that simulated real life situations, including designing robots with limited budget and making a product seem attractive for sale

• Taught and coached kids in Grades 5-9 with their build and design of their NXT robots• Helped campers solve problems they encountered while programming their games in GML
