Major driving force behind the success of the RFX product line, leading cross-functional efforts across production/characterization test development, customer bring-up, and factory/field support.
Owned the architecture and delivery of production-critical embedded and user-space tooling used across engineering, factory environments, and customer engagements; enabled scalable RF testing, improved yield, and measurable NRE value for customers including ACIST, Lockheed Martin, and Elucent.
Lead developer/architect of RFX-Surfer, a cross-platform Qt GUI application for automated RF characterization, remote device management, RF validation routines, and live visualization of data acquisition and FFT analysis (Python, C++) for RFX PCIe/RF-SoC modules.
Automated major production test workflows, reducing manual effort by >50% and increasing throughput.
Developed modular Python/C++ automation applications to interface with RF instruments via SCPI, streamlining characterization and compliance testing.
Developed Python/C++ scripts and libraries to automate firmware flashing, hardware validation, data collection, and reporting.
Key contributor to CI/CD pipeline modernization, ensuring factory test environments remain robust, reproducible, and traceable.
Developed Linux kernel modules (C) for Zynq RFSoC platforms, optimizing DMA (MCDMA / AXI DMA) buffer management and exposing high-throughput PCIe devices as Linux network interfaces.
Created managed/unmanaged DLLs and libraries enabling cross-language integration (C++, C#, Python), supporting advanced data analysis, visualization, and event-driven workflows.
Work cited as transformative by peers, management, and external customers; tools directly improved business outcomes and customer satisfaction.
