  • Took the lead in design and development for significant portion of IP probe codebase.• Led development team for almost a year as interim Scrum Master in addition to other responsibilities.• Assisted with company transition after acquisition while mentoring new team members.• Designed new flexible pipeline architecture to reduce overlap and significantly reduce future development times.• Modified NPU embedded software module to allow for automated unit testing.• Developed inexpensive tunnel hardware that allowed remote tapping of multiple IP traffic sources, reducing deployment costs.• Designed and wrote feature to discover private-to-public IP address translations by high bandwidth 40gb/s NAT devices in real time. This capability was not previously available on NAT devices.• Improved critical components of IP surveillance probe to reduce individual packet processing time by 75% and cut customer deployment costs.

  Wrote software drivers for Bluetooth communication protocol to create a new system of robot control by use of the Wii Remote hand held device. Challenges included lack of documentation about Wii Remote which was overcome by reverse engineering and experimentation. Device was deployed in prototype demonstrations for US Military.
