• Embedded Firmware Developer

  • Sep 2018 - Oct 2019

  My primary role at BASE Engineering was the development of software solutions for fuel transfer automation. In particular I was responsible for the following, Register Development Developed a linux based single board computer (SBC) firmware for a fuel register. The objective of the register was to measure the quantity of fuel delivered to a customer asset and transfer the transaction information to a cloud database. Quality Assurance I was a part of the software quality assurance team. My responsibilities included testing of fuel register interfaces, that were controlled by custom hand held units and android tablets. These interfaces were designed for use with Total Control Systems (TCS), MidCom and Liquid Control fuel registers. Integration of QuickBooks with AWS Designed and implemented an Extraction, Transformation and Loading (ETL) Interface that would acquire customer, site, asset, product pricing and tax information from QuickBooks and load it into the AWS server. The same interface was responsible for extracting fuel transaction information from the AWS server and load it into QuickBooks. The interface allowed for regular data synchronization between AWS and QuickBooks. This interface was tested and successfully deployed on multiple client sites. Show less
