Work Experience:
April 2013 Present, Software Engineer II, Raytheon
Radar Simulation
● Integrated multiple radar platforms with a high fidelity simulation framework.
● Facilitated communication between simulation frameworks with a message converter application.
● Enabled automated testing by writing a scriptable radar controller software.
Radar Instrumentation
● Designed and implemented application and BSP on custom hardware to improve instrumentation
throughput cap from 20MB/sec to 160MB/sec.
● Implemented boot sequence which boots a unique kernel to each processor.
● Created a callback based serial command interface which allows setting/querying the board.
Secure Processing Framework
● Created a graphical system editor which autogenerated embedded C++ code for security
applications.
● Designed a SQLITE save file interface which was databound to the GUI.
● Improved GUI responsiveness by implementing a lazy loading scheme.
June 2011 September 2012, Software Engineering Intern, Raytheon
Instrumentation Data Indexing and Retrieval
● Moved data parsing and retrieval from Matlab Java interface to Matlab C++ interface which
improved retrieval speeds substantially.
● Improved data indexing speeds with data description caching and parallelized data file parsing.
● Added multidimensional array and union parsing to existing data description implementation.

“NearRealistic Mobile Exergames With Wireless Wearable Sensors” Published in IEEE Journal of
Biomedical and Health Informatics (Volume:18, Issue: 2)
● Modified an existing C# desktop application to run on an Android phone by reducing its memory
footprint from 2GB+ to under 1GB and converting from C# to Java.
● Ensured responsive motion capture by implementing real time bluetooth data buffering.
