I have experience in full-stack (backend and frontend) web software development and embedded systems development for proprietary hardware. I enjoy all aspects of software from the lower-level hardware, all the way up to application level web-software. I am interested in developing and implementing backend algorithms for various web software solutions. I like coming up with customer-based solutions to tough and challenging problems. My experience with Indeed, Inc. exposed me to the fast paced world of web development. I work on a variety of issues from user interface to scaling backend systems. My experience with National Instruments gave me an opportunity to work with lower level device drivers and linux kernel development. I follow agile software development methodology and test-driven development wherever I go. A piece of software is an engineer's creation and its quality should never be sacrificed for anything else. My undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and graduate research in the intersection of hybrid systems and computer engineering, gives me a unique background in hardware level (firmware, drivers) programming, software verification and software for embedded systems. I have a strong background in object oriented languages such as Java and C++. I have worked on lower level assembly languages and C. I am very good at learning new languages and jumping right in. Along the way, I have worked with Javascript, JSP, CSS, HTML and picoBlaze assembly.
