Work History

Software Control Solutions (Software Engineer) Melbourne, Florida (2014 – 2015)

Focused on the development of embedded control systems for the space, defense and medical device industries.

Experience creating custom Linux images using Yocto project and BitBake. Developed kernel modules and library

modules to be inserted into these images. One specific image used was Angrstom.

Experience using CMake and cross compiling between Linux and Gumstix Overo.

Implemented forward error correction codes. For a particular project with specific hardware, Reed Solomon codes

were chosen due to being able to handle burst and singleton errors. RS also offered more than sufficient

protection against expected and tested Bit Error Rate, utilizing minimal parity bytes.

Implemented public domain AES-256 encryption using OpenSSL library.

Created UML, use case, sequence, and class diagrams using Enterprise Architect. This allowed for clear design

plans that lead to faster development of projects.

Experience using Subversion and GitHub for version control.

Provided maintenance on legacy code and added new features. Replaced legacy C shell scripts with Bash scripts.

Wrote documentation on how to use new features . Worked on bug fixes and wrote scripts for regression testing.

Artfinity Digital Art Studio (Intern) Sarasota, Florida (2008 – 2010)

Created mailing lists using Excel about new pieces, sales, and pricing, resulting in increased exposure and sales.

Managed customer database by adding new customers, removing customers, and implementing sorting.

Hands on Experience

Senior Design Project (2013-2014): Part of a team that developed a solar powered autonomous boat that measures

water quality characteristics. http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/seniordesign/fa2013sp2014/g24/index.html

Implemented autonomous functionality through use of an onboard GPS module. The boat would

o

periodically compare its current location to the user-specified location and adjust the rudder accordingly.

Assisted with the integration of sensor data acquisition and wireless transmission code.

o

Helped to debug and test the system software and hardware.

o

Designed the motion subsystem of the boat, including the servo, motor, and microcontroller.

o

Phone Pet for Android (2013): Part of a team that developed an Android application that was loosely based on the

Tamagotchi game. Users are able to create a pet, customize their pet, and interact with their pet.

Implemented various pet interactions such as feeding and cleaning up after the pet.

o

Wrote documentation for requirements and specifications, program usage, and detailed design.

o

Used the Agile software development methodology to coordinate with the other five members.

o
