Experience
2014/07– CURRENT PRODUCTION RUNTIME ENGINEER,SIEMENS RESEARCHCORPORATION, PRINCETON,NJ
 Developing flame sensor detection program from LabVIEW to C++ (1000+ lines) using Visual Studio,
PC-lint, and Gforge version control
 Using Fourier Transform algorithm, cross-correlation algorithm and cross-covariance algorithm for
signal processing and data acquisition
 Implementing signal processing of analog to digital converting and data acquisition of flame sensors
using Fourier Transform and Cross-Correlation algorithm
 Achieving highly accurate flame sensor detection with less than 0.00001% false alarm rate
2013/08 – 2014/05 AUTO BREAKING C-LANGUAGE PROGRAMMER, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, INDIANAPOLIS, IN
 Designed and built PCBs to automatically shut down power source when mannequin detected car
crash or free fallfrom the hanger.Prevent motor from braking hence avoid high replacement cost
($250 per motor)
 Installed and programmed an additional 3D acceleration sensor to detect free fall of mannequin
and can car crash using C-language in MPLAB X IDE with Pickit 3 debugger
 Achieved 100% success rate of cutting down power during the tests
2013/09 – 2014/05 IMAGE ANALYSIS RESEARCHER, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, INDIANAPOLIS, IN
 Conducted research on 3D image segmentation using Expectation-Maximization and Maximization
of the Posterior Marginal
 Analyzed 200+ of Tomographic Ultrasound image cases using EM/MPM algorithm
 Improved window level and gray scale with 38% more accurate percent density using C-language
on Visual Studio
2014/01 – 2014/05 PYTHON PROGRAMMER & UI DESIGNER, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, INDIANAPOLIS, IN
 Performed interactive math application using Python (350+ lines) and Pygame library in PyCharm
environment with Object Oriented concept and Agile approaching process
 Designed and drewthe application UI using Photoshop
2014/01 – 2014/05 UI DISIGNER & PROGRAMMER, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, INDIANAPOLIS, IN
 Implemented the popular Flappy Bird iOS game using a PIC18F4515 microcontroller, halleffect
sensor, and servo motors on a circuit board
 Performed coding a microcontroller in C-Language under mikroC environment
 Designed and built the Flappy Bird in Box using recycle materials, and achieved the eco-friendly
purpose
2013/08 – 2013/12 WEBSERVER ENGINEER, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, INDIANAPOLIS, IN
 Developed a web server of message board application in Python and Repy system
 Implemented an error message handling algorithm and improve the efficiency of the web server
with 10% less code in the whole project
 Performed status codes, debugging,blackbox and white box testing in Python and Repy system
 Conducted white-box and black-box testing to ensure that the web server and message board are
working as intended
 Performed load test and stress test to determine the robustness of the web server
