SUMMARY

• I am a strategic minded, goal oriented individual with over 4 years of experience designing and developing embedded firmware for consumer products with focus on user interaction, simplicity, maintainability, and reliability with proven skill to manage multiple projects effectively with a development team of 5 individuals to create products in a timely manner.
• I have extended experience in developing products that use Wireless Communication which include AM, FM, and the design and development of a proprietary communication network and have proven skill in developing projects using C, C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic as well as basic use of various scripting languages.
• I have developed in Microchip processors, embedded Linux OS, and PC environments to utilize SPI, I2C, GPIO, A2D converters, CCP, API integration, and COM port integration
• Shorts - unwanted continuity to other nearby connection points (Programmatically)
• Opens - lack of continuity to other nearby connection points (Programmatically)
• Function - Basic functionality to allow for build of product
• Assisted in designing and developing of 6 separate software projects that are released to production.
• Proficient in coordinating and aligning multiple interdependent projects to deliver a single project.
• Capable of eliciting and discerning Executive Leadership vision and accurately articulating it to a team.
• Adept at full product development cycle from inception and requirements gathering to product launch and maintenance.
• Skilled at developing product roadmaps, which allow Executive Leadership across business lines to formulate strategic decisions
• Knowledgeable of incremental development cycle, producing working product in complete stages with corresponding documentation for all development cycles.
• Developed on Microchip processors, embedded Linux OS and PCs.
• Used SPI, I2C, GPIO, A2D converters, CCP, API integration, 2 separate proprietary 433 MHz communications and COM port integration.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential

Quality Engineer

Responsibilities:

• First Quality Engineer for Electronics for the newly created Quality Department under an ISO 9000 certified quality engineer.
• Creating Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Documents for production and manufacturing processes and modifying current SOPs to match company format.
• Building the Field Technician program for Electronics and RF Diagnostics.
• Completing the Hardware Tracking Database developed in C# and SQL.
• Processing returned merchandise for electrical and mechanical failures.
• Designing and enforcing electronics testing procedures.

Supervisor of Software Development

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Allocating coworkers to projects as needed based on skill sets, work ethic, personality, and time constraints required of the project.
• Defining a development plan to produce working increments of products that can enter release testing, if needed, with little project redefinition. Plans were shown using Microsoft Project and Microsoft Office to show Gantt charts, requirements, incremental product development, product scope, user manuals, production assembly, test procedures, user product manuals, and product features for marketing strategies and scope.
• Designing a multi-platform system that can map a network of devices, promoting reliable communication across 3 platforms. A PC Application, Smartphone Application as the User Interface and top level control written in C#, Java, and Objective C. A Control Device for managing the End Devices that are networked together. The Control Device and the End Device are both developed in C.
• Implementing short development Sprints in the practice of Scrum Project Development.
• Designing Hardware tracking database for Warranty and Troubleshooting. The Database uses a unique product code for tracking and an SQL server for network access.
• Developed solo projects for company contracts using C.

Software Engineer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Developing, managing and documenting multiple firmware projects in parallel. 9 main projects with 6 requiring 3 design paths for different markets. All projects were developed in C.
• Developing proof of concept software for RF Transmission Protocol Viability, Mechanical Hardware Stress Level Analysis, and Test Data Compilation using Visual Studio and C#.
• New product requirements gathering involving all stakeholders and creating documentation which include Gantt charts, requirements, incremental product development, product scope, user manuals, production assembly, test procedures, user product manuals, and product features for marketing strategies and scope.
• Working with Sales Teams, Field Representatives, and Customer Services to refine and revise troubleshooting documentation and product use instructions for readability and clarity.
• Designing maintainable firmware for product life maintenance.
• Designing code architecture for a dynamic environment allowing program change with minimal impact to development timeline.
• Firmware optimization for minimal program size and fast run-time execution for embedded platforms.Intern
• Developing stress test firmware for circuit boards and product use operation using C.
• Testing and troubleshooting circuit boards using logic analyzers and Oscilloscopes finding electrical shorts, incorrect parts, and improper program operation.
• Finding programming errors in the product operation, and hardware limitations through use case testing and stress testing.
• Responding to in field trouble with finished product to determine possible issues that may require changes in production, development or testing.
