M.S. in Electrical Engineering with 7 years of diverse experience in

microwave simulations, RF & power electronics, PCB design and .Net

programming

Summary of Qualifications

Dedicated 2 years of research in electromagnetic simulations; 3 years

designing PCBs, RF, power and charging circuitry; 2 years developing

database applications and teaching programming languages.

Core Competencies:

. In-depth analysis and effective modeling of electromagnetic interaction

based on thorough research. Resulted in a new remote sensing technique.

. Experimented with anechoic chambers, vector network analyzers, spectrum

analyzers and signal generators to characterize optimum tests and

measuring scenarios.

. Managed senior students and interns to write weekly reports, create

budgets, establish supplier contacts and present projects within assigned

deadline.

. Engineered RF circuitry, antennas, microwave networks, linear/switching

power supplies, battery charging circuits, PCBs, GUI applications,

microcontrollers' firmware and LED displays. Techniques were crucial to

increase revenue and support for new company branch.

. Energetic, self teaching, prompt with excellent communication skills and

team playing capabilities. Exhibited responsibility and dedication that

led to further assigned chores.
