Work Experience

University of Waterloo Coding and Signal Transmission Lab Waterloo, ON. Firmware and Hardware Design Research Assistant June 2016–Present

- Designed and tested electric circuit schematics, layout for RF-based antennae to operating in Full-Duplex

- Re-modeled the firmware design of an OpenWrt router to enable beamforming by maximizing throughput and signal strength while enduring multi-pattern interference

Apollo Metrics Waterloo, ON.

Hardware Design Engineer September 2015–December 2015

- Designed electric circuit schematics, layout for WiFi and RF-based antennae to reduce cost of using ready-made hardware devices from other companies

- Used Arduino and similar software IDEs to test major components prior to creating the circuit schemat- ics/layouts in order to learn about component functionality, uniqueness and potential design flaws

- Learned how to use data specification sheets better while using information found on the internet to supplement those provided on the data sheets

TD Bank Group Mississauga, ON.

Direct Channel Technology Solutions Intern September 2014–December 2014

- Designed procedures to implicitly test for improvements and deficiencies in TD Accounting products

- Measured products’ behavior by comparing results with simulated ideal test set data counterparts

- Maintained a repository to track and document changes made to product 1/2

Syncrude Canada Limited Fort McMurray, AB.

Electrical & Instrumentation Co-op Student January 2014–April 2014

- Developed a database to automate equipment maintenance system using Microsoft Access & Excel to reduce outages in the mine

- Conducted periodic maintenance of Electric components such as switchgears, circuit breakers, etc. to prevent power failure in the field

- Updated the field’s TDOCs schematics with changes made during maintenance to ensure smooth operation by members of di erent teams

University of Waterloo Coding and Signal Transmission Lab Waterloo, ON. Research Assistant in RF and Communication Lab May 2013–August 2013

- Used Software Defined Radio Peripheral (USRP) as a transceiver (transmitter & receiver)using OFDM in ISM(WLAN) band which served as a proof of concept for a more specialized antennae

- Designed smart routing, hando and bottleneck system to improve devices’ performance over WLAN

- Modified researched algorithms to reduce network signal interference due to increasing number of devices on the network

Honeywell Aerospace (EMS Technologies) Kanata, ON. Software Verification Engineer September 2012–December 2012

- Simulated Aircraft’s safety-feature events on the satellite communication systems during Over-the-air tests

(OTA) to ensure proper performance after software revisions

- Created test cases to ensure newly added functions during Software revision worked as expected

- Served as a liaison with client’s Software development team to ensure proper communication between both teams during design and implementation

University of Toronto Robotics Association (UTRA) Toronto, ON. Mobile Robotics Developer January 2011–April 2011

- Created printed circuit boards schematics and layouts using microcontrollers, motorcontroller, phototransistors, etc. in developing electrical parts of robot designs

- Software programming of the movement patterns and reaction logic of the robot in C

4th Year Design Project - Notifyr: A Secondary Notification Device attached to Smart phones This challenging project took place over the entirety of my fourth year. It required excellent planning and organizational skills, combined with teaching myself an entirely new and complex subject. The project was a success. A secondary display unit was integrated behind any Andriod or IOS smart phone. My contribution to this project was mostly with designing the circuits, most of which I did by learning from various documents online. The circuit design was defined by its 3 major functions. These functions included: Voltage Boosting to the cell input voltage to e ectively support the functions of the other parts and this was achieved with a micro-controller; the fuel cell gauge which is powered with a constant voltage from a voltage regulator IC, the purpose of the cell gauge is to use a coulomb counter to estimate the voltage level of the fuel cell; and a charge controller used to charge the battery of the smart phone notifyr is attached to. This part was completed by using data sheets and simulations to determine the impedances of the circuitry. 2/2
