Palo Alto, California, United States

Worked on the Supercharger firmware team developing a V3 billing test system to validate vehicle charging functionality on certifiable firmware to be submitted to regulatory committees. Created a custom heuristic regression algorithm that reduced errors from 85% to 12% while requiring significantly less operations than a matrix-based regression algorithm for a high-frequency hard real-time safety task. Additionally worked on various features and bugfixes on the V2 and V3 Supercharger ecosystem.

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Assisted with founding a University of Waterloo design team aiming to provide students a beginner-friendly environment to learn the basics of EV operations and apply different disciplines of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. Our team focuses on designing and creating portable electric vehicles such as electric scooters, bikes, skateboards, and OneWheels, and many other vehicles made in-house with custom and off-the-shelf parts.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Developed code and configured several microservices in GCP and AWS to manage a fleet of IoT devices connected via LoRa and WiFi using Python 3 for testing and using C/C++ for creating firmware images on the STM32WL LoRaWAN MCU. Furthermore, I proposed, documented, and worked on automating RBAC/ABAC roles in Google Workspace and GCP to automate provisioning and revoking permissions through API calls on various service providers.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Assisted in three different teams in the Cryptography COE department with business and development related tasks. Software development projects include a multiprocessing program in Python 2 and 3 to benchmark the performance impact of file-based encryption, automate downloading Windows knowledge base updates updates for outdated air-gapped servers using Python sockets and requests, creating a file encryption script using OpenSSL in Bash, on top of assisting with developing code in Java for hardware security modules (HSM).

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Used Python 3 to automate user access provisioning by creating a GUI application paired with Selenium, as well as assisting with creating a script capable of making API calls for application vulnerability management and reporting. Used Powershell and Excel to automate and generate audit reports for user permissions in several applications displayed on a custom designed Excel dashboard.

Cambridge, Ontario, Canada

Researched and resolved security alerts generated by popular cloud and on-premise SIEM tools. Wrote PowerShell scripts to audit a production Active Directory database and to grab insights on users with excessive privilege's to minimize attack vectors. Assisted with setting up and managing CASB resources to minimize data exfiltration and shadow IT.
