PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

2/2009-present Software Engineer, Abbott Point of Care, In Vitro Imaging Systems Princeton, NJ

• Built and configured software development environment for Windows CE 6.0 on Texas

Instrument DSP platform

• Develop image processing programs with C++ and QT cross-platform framework

9/2003-12/2008 Research and Teaching Assistant, University of South Carolina Columbia, SC

• Created an automated signal switching system that acquires electrical signals from 64

piezoelectric sensors; developed the software that controls the circuit and processes the data;

Filed a patent for this design, which is used in project cooperated with NASA

• Gave lectures to 300+ students as lead teaching assistant of “Fundamental of

Microprocessors”; directed lab sections and final projects

• Constructed a circuit testing board that automates the functionality testing of microcontroller’s

peripherals; wrote the testing program in Motorola 68HC11 assembly language

• Designed and implemented a distributed database system to store sensor data using Oracle 8i

3/2003-8/2003 Software Engineer, ESTUN Industrial Automation Co., Ltd Nanjing, China

• Constructed hardware and software structure of a digital control system for metal forging

machines

• Investigated and selected microcontroller and hardware components for the digital control

system, coded the core function firmware on Texas Instrument DSP TDS320F240

02/2002-02/2003 Software Engineer, Changjiang Elec. Tech. Co., Ltd Jiangyin, China

• Designed and built a discrete-semiconductor testing system which collects electrical

parameters of transistors in large volume;, resulting in a cost savings of $2MM; This system

consists of multiple circuit boards and runs on an embedded Linux platform (UC Linux) based

on Motorola Coldfire 5272 microcontroller;

• Developed Linux device drivers that allow access to the circuit boards and ported a FLASH

based file system to embedded Linux

• Led a team of three engineers to develop the software on embedded Linux; Wrote Windows

program that communicated to Linux through TCP/IP and stored data in database; Designed

two circuit boards and debugged the hardware
