Wayne Christensen Email & Phone Number

I am a senior software engineer with extensive professional experience, primarily in embedded software design and development for medical devices in a Fortune 100 firm, and real-time 3D visual systems for military and entertainment applications. Skilled in all aspects of the software life cycle. Unique expertise in automated test development, technical training, and quality process improvement. One of my strengths is the analytical ability to identify the key elements of a problem, then formulate a solution.I am exploring new career opportunities where I can contribute my unique blend of software engineering experience, problem solving skills, and quality process improvement expertise.Some of my accomplishments are:- Created a paradigm shift in the organization’s software development process that reduced test cycle time by 90% per test cycle by deploying and integrating a new and complete software development tool suite.- Doubled productivity during review and release of software artifacts by implementing a new tool that simplified generation of traceability between requirements, design, code, and automated tests.- Achieved release and acceptance of new software Quality Management System (QMS) in compliance with IEC 62304 standard and FDA regulations by spearheading the overhaul of the existing QMS.- Identified mitigations for three critical issues stemming from FDA warning letter by applying FMEA and FTA techniques to drive to root cause. Co-authored Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) plans presented to FDA for each issue.- Eliminated recurring expense of special-purpose hardware for real-time generation and paging of global texture in simulated 3D environment by implementing a complete software solution.- Reduced game development time by an order of magnitude, and increased realism of synthetic gaming environments, by implementing a tool for dynamic real-time generation of arbitrary routed traffic paths.

Listed skills include Software Development, Software Engineering, C++, Software Design, and 33 others.
