S Electrical Engineer with diverse experience outside the field, including some low-level C pro- gramming, seeking to reboot careerwitha junior- orentry-level career-track full-timeposition in Electrical or Computer Engineering, especially in Control Systems or Embedded Systems Development.

E PierCon Solutions,, Lincoln Park, NJ April 2012–August 2015 Engineering contractor for PierCon’s various clients; see separate entries below for Motorola Solutions and JLL/Citigroup.

Junior RF Engineer (June–August 2015): After completion of the Motorola contract, specified antenna locations for cellular network Distributed Antenna System installations. Performed Continuous Wave drive tests to verify signal-strength estimates for such antenna sites using Agilent hardware & software tools; prepared resulting signal-strength reports with MapInfo and Google Earth.

M S April 2012–June ’15

Audio Routing Engineer: Under contract from PierCon, used legacy telephony technology to extend the ’s radio systemwitha seconddispatchcenter as part of NewYork City’s - project.

Created fault-tolerant audio routing system designs for several system types. Was re- sponsible for some systemdesigns and collaborated with teammembers on others. Presented high-level system designs for customer feedback, then followed through with low- level design.

Worked with drafting team in drawing circuit schematics using AutoCAD & in-house tools, and then with the vendor who built the physical implementation. Collaborated with engineering team to specify audio path redundancy and fail-over. Constructed acceptance-test procedures for all the team’s system types and taught other team members how to expand these templates for the systems under their responsibilities. Coordinated with a remote team to stage & test designs. Updated legacy in-house software tools for management of per-system punch-block data. Assisted local office during company migration to Google forWork infrastructure. JLL/C January–April 2013

SystemEngineer: During hiatus fromtheMotorolacontract, set upalertmanagement software for client’s new in-building radio systems at two locations. Analyzed existing systems and worked with vendor to customize solution for customer requirements. Assisted the physical installation and provided technical support afterward. BGC Partners (Cantor Fitzgerald), NewYork, NY November 2010–June ’11 Analyst/Programmer: Developed software in support of the electronic trading system using C, C++,, & Bash, adding functionality & fixing bugs, following internal coding stan- dards & processes, and using tools such as Salesforce.com, Perforce, & Jira. Provided 3-level technical support: diagnosed & resolved issues for the beta & production environments. Assisted internal teams, answering questions related to the trading system. Techno, Inc., NewHyde Park, NY Summer 2008

Control Systems Programmer: Programmed, in C, a real-time Linux framework for testing and developing motor-control algorithms for routers.

E The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, NewYork, NY B.E. in Electrical Engineering, May 2007; 3.2/4.0

Honors: Full-tuition scholarship 2002–’08; Dean’s List Fall 2003, Fall 2006
