RELEVANT EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Continuation of the work on software verification and validation for a newly developed R&D deep brain visualization software package.
• Built and designed an entire scripting system with 64-bit Confidential Ranorex infrastructure that interfaced with Confidential ' in house PHP scripting language system.
• Used OCR on a Direct-X platform app, as well as Confidential and Confidential recognition to complete a test automation system.
• Skills included DICOM tag coding as well.

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Software verification and validation for a newly developed R&D deep brain visualization software package.
• Automated software test scripts were ported over from a 32-bit system using Confidential Test Partner that interfaced directly with the documentation system used to a more robust 64-bit Confidential Ranorex automated system.
• The automated test system design currently includes Ranorex Confidential screen building block code modules to simulate actual parameters and input configurations thru Confidential screen input. Some of highlights, of the current automated test system are.
• Traverse though all of the possible parameter sets of an electrode configuration SFM or subset of targeted electrode SFM configurations.
• The input of the possible electrodes configuration parameter sets of the SFM has been robustly designed to be expandable for increased electrode contacts as well as distributed across multiple computers using a clever truth table implementation to one targeted electrodes' SFM configuration or a range of SFM configurations to a specific test computer all automated.
• Using video, which is currently implemented, can greatly reduce the need to manage and evaluate millions or billions of screen shots angles and SFM interactions in the data collection process.
• Implementation of LeadTools OCR was done and can be used to screen scrape a set parameters for test automation verification.
• Other highlights include both a Confidential within a Confidential recognition scheme used in Ranorex and a fast code recognition scheme I've developed for Confidential recognition.
• Confidential recognition is being used with Confidential to verify and validate unique UI GUI specifications for automated testing.
• Setup a network of test computers to stream video over the internet to remotely to keep all test automation running 24/7. Have entirely designed all tests and unique software module tools from the ground up to complete the project.
