• Developed novel image processing algorithms to quantify abnormal behavioral or physical attributes of pathogens and humans as recorded by different imaging systems.• Created a control system with graphical user interface and automation capabilities to be integrated with a soil processing robotic instrument that extracts worm cysts and eggs from soil, reducing manpower by almost 50%.• Built and tested sensor test beds with multiple components for swine health monitoring. The embedded wearable devices collects pig health data from various sensors and transmits the information via Bluetooth low energy (BLE). Wrote firmware and sensor libraries based on available software development kits and datasheets. Created a cloud server to store and analyze the information to detect abnormal behavioral traits.• Designed custom image processing algorithms to automatically characterize growth kinetics of CRISPR gene-edited bacterial cells for time-lapse experiments running over 12 hours imaged under fluorescence microscope.• Collaborated with researchers and students from various engineering and biology departments to lead research projects from conception to publications.• Regularly supervised and trained undergraduate and graduate students in chip fabrication, sensor board design, data visualization techniques, and software development

• Handled migration issues in billing module by writing custom scripts within strict deadlines and boosted customer satisfaction• Built a web application that displayed health of all systems and database servers• Succeeded in automating the daily order flow error fixes that resulted from migration and new orders through the use of PHP and PL/SQL that saved the client at around 20% of man hours• Fulfilled admin activities for billing servers, including diagnosing critical issues• Earned the Star of the Quarter and On the Spot awards for actively participating in process and performance improvements within a quarter• Collaborated with remote development team to handle the change requests and issues.
