Confidential, San Diego, CA

Senior Systems Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• I worked with a team to development new features and enhancements to Confidential. The system was composed of patient wearable vitals sign monitoring devices that communicate over Wi-Fi to a patient data server that allows doctors and nurses to monitor their patients remotely.
• Using Agile methodologies, we employed tools such as Trello, RallyDev, Jira and Crucible for tracking tasks, issues and code reviews. We also employed Jenkins for continuous integration tasks. We also utilized the cloud (e.g. AWS/EC2) to gain access to extra computing resources for development and testing.
• I worked with a skunk-works team to develop a vital sign monitoring app for Android that would allow mobile monitoring of ambulatory patients when used in conjunction with ViSi Mobile. The app’s design targeted 7-inch tablets with Wi-Fi tethering capabilities that could support up to 8 ViSi Mobile monitors simultaneously.
• I adapted and released the ViSi Mobile System as a portable self-contained mobile platform for ambulatory patient monitoring by civil and military first responders. This adaptation was packaged as a stand-alone solution based on the Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 running Linux with enough computing power to support mass casualty situations (16+ patients).
• I researched, develop and released two complete portable ViSi Mobile Systems that run on Windows, specifically the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet running Windows 8.1 Pro and the Xi3 Modular computer running Windows 7 Pro. Sales and Marketing adopted the Surface Pro as a tool for demonstrating the ViSi Mobile system to prospective customers. While the Xi3 became the tool of choice for training and onsite customer evaluations. As part of the projects, I wrote training materials and work instructions for transfer to manufacturing.
• Technologies employed include: Java 7/8, Eclipse, Android SDK, Ubuntu/SuSe Linux, TCP/IP, Multicast, Java NIO, JNI/JNA, JUnit, JSP, JSF, Maven, SVN, Apache Tomcat, PostgreSQL, HostAP, DHCP, NTP, HTTP, Wireshark, VMWare Fusion, Windows 7/8/10, Python, Mac OS X, Hudson, Jenkins, Netty.IO, Spring Framework, Hibernate, Apache Commons, PowerShell, etc.

Confidential, San Diego, CA

Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Worked on a small skunk-works team to develop an embedded medical device for the treatment of dry eye. For my part, I developed an Android application that interfaced over Bluetooth to the embedded medical device for configuration, monitoring and data collection. I also assisted in the development of the firmware for the embedded device, which was based around a MSP430 microcontroller.
• Technologies employed include: Java, C, Eclipse, Android, etc.

Confidential, San Diego, CA

Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Support and develop in-house tools used for product planning, release management and build automation of application modules for factory imaging on Sony VAIO products. Working on a scrum team of other engineers to improve the ‘continuous integration’ platform for the building, testing and deployment of in-house and third-party software modules. We’ve successfully deployed Hudson/Jenkins as part of our CI initiative, which has proven to be quite stable, scalable and feature rich - significantly improving overall productivity.
• My team and I successfully engineered a CI framework to automate battery and performance testing of pilot and release-candidate images (e.g. MobileMark 2007 and Microsoft’s Velocity Test Suite) as well as data collection and reporting of performance results.
• Most of the web-based tools/applications are spread across multiple platforms (e.g. LAMP and IIS/ASP/Oracle). Client-side automation tools are developed using a wide variety of technologies: C++/MFC and C#/.NET, wscript/cscript, jscript/vbscript, powershell, etc. Server-side processing (e.g. web services) is predominately LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) with some Python.
• Pioneered Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE) metrics backend processing. In an effort to provide marketing with more accurate and timely statistics of OOBE metrics. I developed a set of tools to automate the decryption and import of OOBE metrics from XML files into a database for more effective post-processing. Provided queries and stored procedures to crunch data for reporting. Previously, the XML files were processed manually on an as-needed basis using shell scripts.
• Prototyped a demonstration of a desktop ‘widget’ to enhance a users experience when using an Intel WiDi device for displaying multimedia content - developed in C#/.NET. This prototype was later adopted by another development team who incorporated much of its original code into a larger more feature rich ‘media content sharing’ demo application.
• Technologies employed include Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (C++/C#/VB/.NET), COM, PHP, ASP, ATL, XML, XSL, HTML, JavaScript, Python, Linux (Redhat and Ubuntu), VMware, SVN, MySQL, Oracle, IIS, Java, Apache, Tomcat, Ant, Microsoft SQL Server, Jscript, PowerShell, etc.
