• Develop baremetal firmware for specialized DSP core on satellite Internet modem to implement SPI and GPIO drivers and facilitate real time tuning of RF hardware in C++ • Implement Linux kernel module utilizing DMA-based communication, interrupt handling, and synchronization to communicate with DSP core from multithreaded user space C++ applications • Conduct stress testing and performance profiling across multiple hardware variants • Drive secure CLI design and full-stack validation including unit and feature acceptance testing • Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver reliable, production-grade terminal software

• Develop test automation frameworks and automate tests for end-to-end satellite modem validation, with features utilizing Mesh Wi-Fi, Hybrid Networking, PHY Layer algorithms, GUIs, and REST APIs • Implement data visualization dashboards and alerts to monitor CICD pipelines • Lead Agile Scrum meetings to ensure team goals were met, redundancies in processes eliminated, and colleagues received help when needed • Mentor colleagues on best practices, satellite Internet systems, and team codebases

Designed and implemented Android application to communicate with portable airborne particulate matter sensing device and retrieve data from web server. Utilized Volley, MPAndroidChart, Google Maps API, and Google Play Location Services with Android Studio. Presented project at HHMI Day and UCLA Science Poster Day. Added Bluetooth communication feature between Android application and Raspberry Pi utilizing Android Studio and PyBluez and implemented functionality to capture images of volatile particles using Python multithreading.

Worked in an Agile environment to implement and automate network data collecting infrastructure and perform data analysis and visualization. Investigated and utilized Docker, Apache Flume, Apache Spark Streaming, Grafana, and Ansible.
