I wrote a vehicle device simulator capable of simulating a truck driving a route to test vehicle tracking software.

I was the sole developer on the project, so I gathered requirements, wrote a design document for my client, and implemented all the code. I also wrote a pytest plugin to facilitate its integration into their testing system.

I invented a new approach to translating project source code into a format suitable for static analysis by the analysis tool. My invention allows non-technical users to use a very advanced static analysis tool, making the static analysis software accessible to a significantly larger pool of users. I worked with the intellectual property team to file provisional and non-provisional patents for my invention.

An active RFID system for tracking large assets such as vehicles in a manufacturing facility or high-value assets stored in a yard.

I worked as one of the key software developers in this project, helping design and implement the system. I took responsibility for gathering requirements, designing the system's architecture and the tag communications protocol, and implementing them across the entire software stack. I wrote a substantial part of the user interface, the back-end database, and the firmware for the RFID readers. I also traveled to customer sites to help with customer POCs and troubleshooting.
