PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Santa Clara, CA

Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• The software is built using modern WPF with MVVM architecture as well as adhering to SOLID principles, and features teacher and student screen projections, remote desktop, fast wireless connectivity, multi-language support, chat, and other components to enhance the learning experience.
• Additionally the software uses wireless TCP/IP network, hierarchical state machines, and is designed to leverage artificial intelligence to continuously monitor student attentiveness.
• Spearheaded initiative to train and mentor offshore developers to improve coding levels, increase productivity, promote the use and application of industry best practices, enforce coding standards, and enhance operational efficiency.
• Successfully translated Business Requirements into both functional and technical specifications, and created effective software solutions.

Confidential, Redwood City, CA

Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Integral contributor on a two-member engineering team tasked handling all aspects of project management for a new turn-key system that combined functionality from a Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) Equipment and Data Analysis Software from third-party vendors.
• Targeting academic research labs, forensics processes, and pharmaceutical companies, the system effectively produced business-critical results for genomic mapping, forensic identification, genome sequencing, and complex DNA and RNA structures.
• Performed requirements gathering and analysis, assessed project feasibility, allocated necessary resources, developed project plan, scope, and schedule, and established criteria for project milestones and final deliverables.
• Ensured solutions aligned with industry best practices and company standards, while maintaining compliance with government rules and regulations.
• Created an application that manages user End User License Agreement acceptance.
• Co-authored a comprehensive Rebranding Specification transition from third-party equipment into an Confidential product, while coordinating efforts with original equipment vendor to resolve hardware and software issues.
• Designed and implemented an XSLT script that converted output data from CE to input format of the Data Analyzer.
• Successfully conceptualized, developed, and designed a data conversion application with C#, WPF/MVVM, with eight MEF plug-in converters, that when combined, can convert data between industry leaders in mass spectrometer, liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis. The converter can run in “silent” mode for auto conversion.
• Introduced industry-first ‘Fast Glycan’ feature that drastically reduced glycan analysis to one fifth.
• Automated functional test cases and setup Jenkins build server for on-demand and nightly builds with auto-unit testing.
• Created a “ReleaseBuild” configuration that automated software versioning and referenced the software build number with the live source code repository revision number.

Confidential, Santa Clara, CA

Software Consultant

Responsibilities:

• Designed a complex desktop application using C# 4.5/WPF, which connects to a QNX computer running Python scripts to control hardware components.
• Ensured the application simulated hardware component activities and CAN and TCP/IP networks in blood-sample analysis equipment, according to client requirements, to support business processes.
• Simulated and documented ability to send and receive remote commands using HL7 Messaging Protocols.
• Effectively resolved a software testing obstacle by designing and releasing the 'offline' version of a software that enables operation on powerful blood-sampling equipment.

Confidential, Waltham, MA

Principal Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Developed and maintained an industrial application that governed the process of sorting recycled materials.
• Utilized C# 3.5 with WPF/MVVM and extensive LINQ usage to design an effective software component that drives hardware devices like controller boards, X-Ray tubes, and secondary X-Ray detectors, material diverters, and conveyor belts through Ethernet with a SQL backend database to configure data and calculate results.
• Designed automated tests and SQL jobs to deliver a nightly build system, and perform necessary system updates.
• Successfully overhauled a low-level software application and produced a more robust, high-quality, and professional software application to drive and support daily operations.
