Responsibilities:

• Overview: Senior Software Development Engineer working in Manufacturing Test Engineering team on HoloLens.
• Wrote/updated code to run as Workflow projects in Test Suites, which test hardware for compliance, through accessing hardware APIs to determine whether they meet functionality requirements. SDE, not SDET. Writing in C#, interacting with Azure DevOps, creating new code, and updating existing code to new and changing standards. Using Git on Azure DevOps with Pull Requests for allowing Code Reviews.
• Architected functionality to meet sometimes fuzzy and incomplete standards, researched and used reverse engineering skills to determine wat options for change could be applied, how to implement requirements, as well as offer ideas on implementation to work around blocking issues.
• Assisted in bringing on board, tutoring, and assisting new SDE's. Facilitated communication on procedures, for both local and remote workers. Worked on getting logging and meaningful error messages written and available to diagnose issues. Implemented and assisted co-workers on implementing Unit Tests, using Mocks. Demonstrated how to use applications and gave instructions on how to use proprietary tools.
• Updated several services to work in a manner vastly different from their original intent, developing and designing workarounds and implementing them. Examined underlying code provided by another team to understand how to use their code and the best way.
• Accumulated driver and app information required, tan assisted in creating, a base Operating System for devices.
• Removed obsolete code as device setup removed important event processes and implemented new events using less information.
• Created a template for implementing the new workflow requirements and assisted others in using the workflow. Updated an error-code-generator template to work with VS 2019.
• Worked in the group to create NuGet packages and Surface Packages, and to split monolithic APIs into subparts.
• Cleaned up code structures and brought them up to date with the current C# version. Manually merged code that had been copied to a different repository, without branching, so could not merge automatically.
• Wrote instructions on how to use Git when Azure DevOps issues prevented automatic use of built-in Git.

Designed and developed dynamic symbolic link process to overcome hard-coded folder location, from external sources, to direct logs to different folders based on security requirements of the device being tested.
