Matlab Language Quality Engineering Intern Natick, MA

Optimizing MATLAB runtime performance by reducing memory leaks (C

Involved in testing new features of the MATLAB codebase to meet industry standards (MATLAB).

University of Pittsburgh August 2009 - Present

Graduate Research Assistant Pittsburgh, PA

Developed expertise through research and coursework in detection, classification, estimation, Time-frequency and spectral analyses.

Developed signal processing algorithms to cassify Sound Navigation And Ranging (SONAR) returns from targets vs. clutter and

numerically simulated the performance using MATLAB.

Developed and simulated feature extraction algorithms for propagation-invariant classification of SONAR returns using MATLAB.

Integ Process Group April 2009 - July 2009

System Programmer Intern Cranberry Township, PA

Developed demo .NET application that utilizes the features of JNIOR; a custom networked I/O controller.

Developed and debugged .dll files in JNIOR application layer protocol and debugged a custom cinema automation Java application.

SELECTED ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Gesture-Based Lock Screen for Android (Java/SQL) Febuary 2013 - April 2013

Developed custom gesture-based lock screen for Android OS smartphones, based on user’s features and drawing characterstics (finger

size, phone orientation, drawing time, shape, size, and finger pressure).

Implementation of a Single Process Kernel for an ARM Processor (C++) September 2012 - October 2012

Hijacked U-Boot’s exiting SWI and IRQ handlers, installed custom handlers and implemented a timer driver which could report OS

timer events by using the built-in oscilltor for the basix/verdex-pro boards.
