2 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Nielsen Media Research, Oldsmar, FL

2009 - Present

1 Embedded Software Engineer (contract)

Embedded software design, multithreaded programming and optimization

Digital signal processing

Device Center of Excellence, Baxter Healthcare Corp, Pinellas Park, FL

2000 - 2009

Sr. Principal Software Engineer, Embedded Software Group

Software design and algorithm development for multiple Renal and Bioscience

devices, key accomplishments include the following:

Technical lead for software hazard analysis and mitigation for automated

stem sell selection device, which covers software in 9 microprocessors and

200K source line of code of object oriented C++

Chief software and algorithm designer for optimization study for next

generation peritoneal dialysis instrument

Designed Bluetooth wireless application using A&D Bluetooth weight scale

and blood pressure cuff under Windows XP and Windows Mobile using C# and

.NET.

Designed heating and pumping algorithms and software implementations using

C for peritoneal dialysis instrument

Developed Matlab and Simulink model for the in-line heating, and pressure

control algorithms for peritoneal dialysis instrument

Ocular Imaging Lab, Univ. of Texas Southwestern Med. Center, Dallas, TX

1998 - 2000

Research Associate

Image acquisition system and linear stage control design. Implemented DSP

algorithm using Wiener filtering and maximum likelihood estimation.

Designed digital image processing software for spatial frequency analysis,

2D filter design, histogram equalization, pseudo coloring, and image

restoration. Key accomplishments include:

Designed a pseudo color imaging application for confocal microscope using

visual C++ MFC for confocal microscope imaging system.

Developed algorithms using advanced DSP Wiener filing and maximum

likelihood estimation to improve the corneal thickness measurement accuracy

using confocal microscope using Matlab programming.

Designed a new confocal microscope based corneal thickness measurement

system using photomultiplier tube. This system can potentially provide in

vivo measurement cornea sub-layer thickness with better precision than

video imaging.

Other Working Experience

1988 - 1998

Worked on various software and systems for medical device application. Key

accomplishment include the following:

Designed a Laser photo detector system for artificial blood vessel

compliance measurement.

Developed a pump control algorithm to simulate the pressure and vessel

compliance similar to the actual human physiological data.

Built a PC based frame grabber system with synchronization circuit to

trigger a flashlight and a camera to capture the cavitation micro-bubble

image.

Designed analogy & digital circuits schematics, and PCB for automated

pacemaker testing system.

Developed software architecture, testing algorithm and implemented using C

and assembly language for the automated cardiac pacemaker testing system.
