PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Software Engineer

Confidential, Metuchen, New Jersey

Responsibilities:

• Developed a program to record RSSI data for indoor survey of RF sources for use in generating heat maps of RF coverage to assist in the placement of RF sources, such as WiFi routers, for full coverage.
• Developed a Windows based GUI control program using Qt and WinForms for tuning the frequency and adjusting the power output of the Komodo DAS Transmitter product. Control of the transmitter is via USB connection from a laptop computer with the control program installed.
• Developed a Windows based GUI control and monitoring program for a receiver called the Transit Hound, that detects the signal power of cell phones, which plots the detections on a chart as signal strength in dBm versus time annotated with the names of the carriers and frequency for the particular location where the detector is located
• Debugged and made bug fixes to existing products such as the Yellow Jacket Wi-Fi Analyzer, Yellow Fin 4G Analyzer, and Bumble Bee Tablet Spectrum Analyzer.
• Developed a Reporting Utility for 2G/3G and 4GLTE Squid signal scanner for survey purposes to facilitate the placement of MTM devices.
