• Software Engineer

  • Mar 2006 - Aug 2008

  As a Software Engineer at FOX-TEK, I was hired to improve the in-house data analysis software package, which at the time was based on LabView. In the span of two years, I developed a complete software package for interactive and batch analysis of data from FOX-TEK's fiber-optic strain and deformation sensors. The software package made possible improved techniques for analysis of Electrical Field Mapping measurements. At the same time, I helped maintain and extend embedded code for 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers (C8051 family). Worked as part of a team of 10 engineers developing remote monitoring solutions for harsh environments.Technologies used: Real-Time Programming, C, C#, .NET, WinForms, Data Analysis
