| Communication |
· Extensive experience in technical writing, documentation, and presentation |
· Prepared bill of materials, ordered parts for circuit boards, tested and debugged various hardware
· Designed and implemented PLC based testers to automate functional verification of circuit boards
· Added new features to assembly line testers using C in LabWindows/CVI environment
· Wrote several technical manuals and operating procedures for hardware and software systems
· Improved BlackBerry battery life by making hardware changes that eliminated current leakage
· Evaluated the power management chip for the next generation BlackBerry devices:
· Performed detailed analysis on the Low Drop Out (LDO) regulators' operation
· Analyzed battery charger profile, and created an optimal method for charging the battery
· Improved the performance of the BlackBerry by optimizing its Read and Write timing parameters
· Participated in designing a hardware/software system for drive-testing the BlackBerry
· Gained experience in soldering size 0402 components on RF circuit boards
· Assisted in the design of a filter to reduce cross talk between the digital and RF signals
· Conducted research on MPLS, DWDM, VoIP, Call Centers, PBX and Unified Messaging
· Implemented a client/server application using Visual Basic and Microsoft SQL Server
· Solved manufacturing problems, designed mechanical fixtures using AutoCAD, and dealt with suppliers
· Developed own Calculus material and taught the course to undergraduate students
· Designed and implemented a 16-bit microprocessor using VHDL. The microprocessor was able to execute 16 different instructions and was implemented on a Xilinx FPGA
· Designed a Fingerprint Recognition System (FRS) that uses a flat-bed scanner to recognize a person's identity. The FRS was implemented using Java and Matlab, and it involved the use of image processing techniques and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
· Developed a new version of "The Game of Life" that has no physical limits. The game was implemented using Java. It's a grid of small cells that can be dead or alive. The live cells form complex mathematical patterns on the grid
· Completed four major technical documents (work term reports) for the companies that I worked at as part of the co-op program. A typical work term report is over 30 pages long and provides a solution to a complex engineering problem. The papers I wrote are:
· Next Generation BlackBerry Power Management Chip
· LCD Noise Reduction on Eltron II
· GTAA Campus Area Network Design
· Drawcoat 1030, A Comprehensive Analysis
· IEEE member
· Tennis, volleyball (team captain for two years), soccer, swimming, billiards, table tennis
· Foreign Languages: French (intermediate), Japanese (basic)
· Top-notch chef, enjoy creating healthy and flavorful foods
