Experience

Software Engineer I, DiaSorin Molecular – Austin, TX Apr 2023 – Jan 2025

● Improved instrument boot time 70% by moving startup sequences to Windows services and multithreading the initialization of other services post-initial server startup.

● Designed and developed the front end of an AI-powered log analysis solution using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This tool allowed developers and technicians to upload log files, view AI-generated diagnostics, and filter logs by date, severity, and source, enhancing error detection and resolution.

● Conducted a data research project on probe calibration, identifying mechanical issues through trials automated by coding a Python application powered by RESTful APIs. Presented findings to stakeholders, and implemented a calibration change to prevent errors based on feedback.

● Enhanced UI responsiveness of the instrument by adding visual feedback, such as a small flash around the screenshot button, in direct response to customer complaints to improve user experience.

● Created an internal C# .NET application/tool with Windows Presentation Framework that converts result PDF files from instrument runs into CSV format, streamlining data integration for a different team's workflow.

● Developed and maintained an installation executable (.exe) using the WiX toolset and C# .NET to facilitate software updates, incorporating criteria-based restrictions for compatibility checks, enhancing user experience, and ensuring seamless updates.

● Collaborated with a coworker to remotely troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve a critical issue with a customer’s research instrument, ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining customer satisfaction. Software Developer, Clothing Tech – Austin, TX Mar 2022 – Apr 2023

● Optimized resource usage by implementing C# code for a Unity project to stall garment animation upon reaching a natural resting position, reducing the application's load by up to 30% during idle periods.

● Introduced functionality for garment trims, enabling designers to add and position hardware such as zippers, buttons, and clasps to join multiple fabric pieces.

● Measured and recorded various fabric properties using ZwickRoell instruments to determine elasticity

(warp, weft, bias) and friction. Used the collected data to fine-tune the fabric library, ensuring accurate representation of fabric behavior.

● Refactored a complex 3D modeling/photogrammetry application by splitting a large main method into multiple files and methods, including isolating noise reduction code for better parameter tweaking and unit testing, enhancing maintainability and ease of updates. Skills
